Re: Tr7 recommission
Hi everyone, thanks for your help. they say don't work on a radio tired. Well it was the PBT button pressed. Signs of life now, but the cal seems weak. On 7 mhz it is a little noisy and the S meter

Re: L7 power amplifier question
MY mistake, I apologize. ? That is what I measured a few years ago before installing the soft key.

24-28vdc is what I measure on mine. ?If you want specifics out to two or three decimal places I can do that for you. 73, Evan, K9SQG

Re: L7 power amplifier question
Dave, I don't have one here to measure. Research reveals zilch. So I'd just like to know open voltage at the jack and key loop current of an original L7 if anyone happens to know conclusively. Thanks,

Re: successQ multiplier cable
Excellent! Yes, the 455 kHz wiring between the receiver and the multiplier was simple multiconductor cable. It may be shielded but I'd have to take the 2-BQ apart to know for sure. RG-174 is certainly

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. Steve Wedge, W1ES Time flies like an

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! ....Dave

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 crystal

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
