Re: TR-4C Problems with 28.0 and 28.5 bands
It¡¯s a possibility, so bear that in mind. If you¡¯re only off by a frequency that can be adjusted with knob-slipping or moving the fiducial, I¡¯d leave it alone.

Re: TR-4C Problems with 28.0 and 28.5 bands
Curious Steve, does baking ever make them worse.? ie if you had a xtal that was marginally off frequency are you taking a risk of making that xtal worse than it already is?? I've got a couple that

Re: TR-4C Problems with 28.0 and 28.5 bands
It¡¯s always worth a go. I get about 70% success. That fact that you¡¯re seeing something happening with them is encouraging.

Re: TR4310 HF Transceiver
Jim,
I didn't notice any capacitors of that brand, but will keep my eyes peeled. I did replace a few electrolytics in key positions in the normal course of business when going through the synthesiser

Re: TR4310 HF Transceiver
Very nice write-up. Congrats on finding the problems. A suggestion based on my RV75 experience, if you have any electrolytic caps branded "CAPAR" replace them on sight. They are rubbish.

Re: TR-4C Problems with 28.0 and 28.5 bands
Several hours in a 350¡ãF oven. Put them on foil.

Re: For sale Mill. spec. Relays for Sherwood boards
None of my Sherwood product kits were for the Drake transmitters, they were for the R-4C. I am not aware of any TO-5 relays in a stock Drake product.

Re: TR-4C Problems with 28.0 and 28.5 bands
Steve, for the uneducated, please describe the baking process. I assume you are rewetting the solder connections on the sides of the crystal blanks.

Re: TR-4C Problems with 28.0 and 28.5 bands
Dave, it's starting to look like you have two bad crystals.
Have you tried baking them? I know this thread is long, so excuse if this has already been done.

Re: TR-4C Problems with 28.0 and 28.5 bands
Well, I tried that, no joy. So I tried a few other things. Using my SDR to receive the Xtal oscillator I find this:
28.0 (42.5 Xtal) oscillates at 42.603 but no proper receive, warbly sound
28.5 (43.0
