Re: TR4310 HF Transceiver
*** I just had an interesting thought. I bet I could do an RF speech processor in software. I have a few Teensy 4.0 processor sticks - they have a very powerful audio library - with oscillators,

Re: Drake TR7, TX issue any ideas?
One of mine had a leaky driver transistor that caused all sorts of weird stuff. CAREFULLY check the voltage on the base of the drivers. It should be zero in RX. I would not measure directly at the

Re: Drake R4B vs R4C
Selectivity of the R-4C crystal filters is better than the R-4B¡¯s 50 kHz L/C filters. Sensitivity very similar, maybe slightly better for the C-Line. Rob, NC0B

Re: The mysteriously modified 7077 (and nothing else¡­)
Sometime during the production of the TR7 the 470K in series with pin 4 was added to provide the high level input. The three rigs I have all have it. It was also added by the service department to

Re: TR7 tone
Have been working on the TR7 CW issue and today I changed the switching transistor that turns on the 10 volts and off. Before I changed the PNP transistor when the key is up it showed 1.77 volts and

Re: Drake TR7, TX issue any ideas?
Okay, ground strap added, not much difference, but makes really good sense! Anode on CR1501 RX = close to 0Volt, TX = 11.5Volt Junction CR1502/CR1503 RX = 10.32Volt, TX = Unstable - constant cycle

Re: TR-4C low power output on 15 & 10 meters
If you go this route, be sure that you¡¯re buying the shorter ones. There are some that are too tall to fit in the PA cage. Steve Wedge, W1ES Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana. Sent

Re: TR-4C low power output on 15 & 10 meters
And it¡¯s not as important to have exactly matched tubes but it is important that they all be the same brand. Steve Wedge, W1ES Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana. Sent from [Proton

Re: TR-4C low power output on 15 & 10 meters
6GJ5 tubes have been used as a less expensive alternative. ?Do a search and you¡¯ll find some info and can decide if you want to try them.

Re: TR-4C low power output on 15 & 10 meters
Dave, a quick review of eBay shows several 6JB6/6JU6 going for around $15 NIB + shipping. Perhaps you can find someone with 3 for sale. Dave

Re: TR-4C low power output on 15 & 10 meters
Yes, I failed to mention that. BIAS is at 0.1 amp. So, sounds like everyone agrees, it's the finals. That is an easy fix! But rather expensive. Where are folks finding the best deal on new finals? 73,

Re: Drake R4/T4 rubber feet machine screws
Mike is right about the AC-4 small rubber feet with the stud at 6-32. Steve is right about the 10-24 screw for the large plastic feet. PS [email protected]> wrote:

Yup - 10-24 Common Slot Pan Head IF you want originality. I can get the length for you later today. 1/2" or 5/8" sounds about right. 73 PS [email protected]> wrote:

If you have confirmed that your idle current is 100mA then I would agree that your finals are tired.

Re: TR-4C low power output on 15 & 10 meters
They are not new, but they test OK, about mid-way on the output scale. Is it not a valid way to test final tubes? 73, Dave

Re: Drake R4/T4 rubber feet machine screws
Steve and the group those small rubber feet that screw into the bottom of the AC4 are in fact 6-32 thread. You can get the rubber feet from McMaster Carr, although I don¡¯t remember the part number

I believe the latest manual, available at WB4HFN, shows the pinout for the two mic inputs.

These are not new finals, correct? This appears to be finals that are at their end of life. Steve Wedge, W1ES Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana.
