Re: Could be the end of my Tr7
+10R is provided by Q307 on the transmit exciter board. Sounds like you probably have a bad transistor or other problems on the transmit exciter board. If you want to get rid of it, you can send it to

Could be the end of my Tr7
Hi everyone,sad news. I traced the issue,finally, no 10R getting to the filter board, not even on the socket. Checked the 10R on the psu board, exactly 10.0v Removed The front panel and the two banks

Relay -- TR-4C vs T-4XC
I couldn't find the relay in Garey's BOM for the T-4XC. I have found the listing of the original relay in the TR-4C -- it is a P&B R10-E1-Y4-V2.5K I can't see why they shouldn't be the same. The

Re: T-4XC "On" Decreases RX Performance?
Hi Craig, What you are observing all has to do with mixer injection levels and the source of 5645 kHz local oscillator (LO). The 100 Hz shift is occurring on SSB when the T-4XC is turned on. The 5645

Re: Tuning a pi-Network Output
When there are spurious oscillations in the PA tubes, is there a particular frequency this usually occurs? In other words, does changing bands change the frequency of the oscillation? I'm just

That's what I meant to say. Was sitting at the lunch counter with my phone. That's my obvious first check when something like this happens, because that switch won't affect the receiver unless the TX

Re: Tuning a pi-Network Output
This one has GE tubes. Not sure if those are considered the "good" ones (like the Sylvanias) or if they need more capacitance. Hopefully I'll get to the neutralization adjustment today or tomorrow.

T-4XC "On" Decreases RX Performance?
Not really a big deal but thought I would check in to see if this is common. R-4C tied into T-4XC in normal transceive config. I'll listen around on the R-4C for a while, and I'll turn on the T-4 if I
