TR-3 Band Switch Wiring
*WARNING:? I am a hobbyist and I am learning vintage radios. I can usually find my way around schematics to some degree, but not well. I do better with service manuals and I've not found any for

Re: TR-4CW and TR7 Outcomes?
Let's make this easy. Pull the board and out it on your bench. Connect 10 volts to pin 11/38 and ground to 11/11. Make your measurements with and without the transistor on the board. Verify the pinout

Re: R4C low audio on SSB/CW
Check the 50 kHz LO injection into the product detector and the second mixer. This is not a typical failure. Rob, NC0B

Re: PTO makes scraping sound
Measured exactly 10 volts out of the variable power supply that I just got to red and black on the PTO. I have so many ways to get the signal from the PTO that I simply placed my spectrum analyzer

Re: TR-4 - Sideband Selections
Yes, either sideband is valid for tune-up; however, with the UPPER lamp on, I presume I will also transmit on USB which, of course, is backwards from normal 40M operation. That's what's confusing me.

Re: TR-4 - Sideband Selections
You can tune up on either sideband using TUNE, which is an audio tone. X is always used for CW which offsets the carrier oscillator to put its signal inside the passband of the filter (LSB filter I

Re: getting the AC mains out of the TR7
*** I've used code for I/O on a few projects. Well, mostly for O. Once upon a time, I was working on a project at work that had a CPU that talked to another CPU. They communicated via a shared memory

Re: TR-4 - Sideband Selections
Steve, I sent the chart as space-delimited with a fixed-width font but I suppose something transformed them. Sorry about that. What I'm trying to understand is how to tune up for, say, 40M SSB. If I

Re: T-4XC no output on 40M
I seem to remember that many of those very small-value caps that are in parallel with transformer windings were put there to increase bandwidth. Steve Wedge, W1ES Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies

Re: TR-4 - Sideband Selections
20 & 80 are the oddballs because they're only single conversion. 80 is the difference between CO and PTO and 20 is 9 MHz the sum. Other bands with difference frequencies. Also, the sideband filter

Re: TR-4 - Sideband Selections
X is needed for CW, so the switch will select the carrier to be on LSB for all but 20m. At least I think that's what you're showing because when I replied my email app changed the tab formatting :-)

TR-4 - Sideband Selections
I'm trying to get my head wrapped around the sideband schemes for the TR-4 and have a question. Below is a table of how the sideband lamps react with the various BAND and SIDEBAND switch positions in

Re: T-4XC no output on 40M
That capacitor is DC shorted directly to ground on one end, and also to ground on the other end through T11 and then through T5. Not very likely to be bad. Gary w0DVN

Re: getting the AC mains out of the TR7+ FAN
I have discovered that the failure mechanism of every Oak switch (the AC power switch on the backs of pots) are mechanical failure of the bronze spring and not due to scorched contacts. These switches
