Re: L7 power amplifier question
I believe I've measured 24-28 vdc but don't remember the current. ?Issues are voltage, current, and inductive spike. ?I've install a RadioGadgets ?UKA-1 I believe, inside the L4B and L7s that I

Re: L7 power amplifier question
About 30-35VDC
My IC-7610 has no problem with that as long as I use the FET switch but most SS rigs won¡¯t do well with that. Those rigs will need an interface.

Re: L7 power amplifier question
You can just measure it, but if it helps, YES...it is above the limit on most rigs, and will need an external relay. I went through this once myself!

Re: TR7 tone
Yes, you want to look at the 2nd IF/Audio board. CW operation is described towards the end of the text in section 2-11 of the service manual. In short the CW transmit carrier is generated by a

TR7 tone
Hi once again. I am back trouble shooting the TR7 with what I hope is the
last problem. When I switch the mode switch to CW I get a 1800 cycle tone
in the receiver that is over S9 in strength. If you

Re: Tr7 recommission
Recently had a similar issue where the PBT pots on the power supply board were non-functional; problem turned out to be internal PBT switch leakage to the lamp circuit, which was offering a low-z path

Re: Tr7 recommission
The passband tuning voltages are steered by quad analog switch IC U1001 on the PBT/Reference board. If the control signals are reaching the IC and it is not switching as it should it has likely

Tr7 recommission
Hi everyone.
Made great progress, all alignment looked fine until I got to the bandpass tuning pots on the power supply board, moving them all, nothing happened, 10v adjust ok.
Took the board out,
