Re: Changes/alterations in early (S/N~18,300) R-4C IF
Gary, try putting the original screen resistor back and swap out tubes. It sounds like someone was chasing their tail over a gassy tube. Steve Wedge, W1ES Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a

Good audio - T4XC and R4C
On 12m this morning, I received a good SSB audio report from MN. I've had other good SSB audio reports. I'm using a Shure 444. My CW and SSB reception sound great as well.. maybe better sounding than

Changes/alterations in early (S/N~18,300) R-4C IF
I am helping a fellow with his dead R-4C. I found the original problem, a puncture in one of the coax cables' insulation pressing against the 12 volt line, pulling it to ground. Fortunately, this

T-4XC Bandswitch positions
T-4XC Band switch waver positions? On the T-4XC I purchased, the waver band switch is in the wrong positions. crystal positions are fixed, the others may be wrong too! After tuning only a small

Re: T-4XC Final Cathode Resistors
One watt is enough. Modern carbon film will do fine, they do not drift. Metal film will also do fine. I think Garry used to recommend oxide coated film. Since the drop is part of the measurement of

Re: T-4XC Final Cathode Resistors
Carbon film will run at red heat without damage. I spent some of my wasted youth working for a resistor manufacturer. We made established reliability metal film and mil spec carbon film resistors.

Re: T-4XC Final Cathode Resistors
In general I'd say use metal film for everything. In this case, maybe consider carbon film and don't overdo the power rating. If the resistor burns out it might just save the tube; metal film can

Re: Drake TR-7 - Noisy transmitter
It is exactly as stated. The adjustment is an old school ceramic trimmer cap conveniently placed on the board in line with the key jack on the rear panel. Since you need key down CW to hear the side

Re: Drake TR-7 - Noisy transmitter
Jim, There have been several times I could have used a bench test jig for Drake boards. Just a simple thing with 5, 10 and 13 Volt supplies and some AF and RF generation and detection facilities. One

T-4XC Final Cathode Resistors
After updating my AC-4, I fired up the T-4XC and am dealing with all of the little usual issues after being dormant for a quarter century. Checked the final Cathode resistors which are 15ohm/1Watt.

Re: Wanted Manual for AC4R power supply upgrade.
Isn't it on line somewhere? I have done two of the Heathkit Shop upgrades but think I got only an instruction sheet with them. I don't think he has changed the circuit any. Or have I missed something?
