Re: R4C power supply question
Same here, Steve. A Stacor Variac is used along with a 4-recepticle isolation transformer. An RCA WV-120B line voltage monitor plugs into one of the receptacles to monitor line voltage while adjusting

Re: R4C power supply question
Steve, Since that variable transformer can be adjusted to output more than 125V you might consider removing the knob to prevent accidental voltage changes. *Ken* *WA2LBI* [email protected]>

Re: R4C power supply question
I measured my line voltage here in central NC and it¡¯s usually 123VAC or thereabouts. I decided that, rather than going through a dozen or so rigs, it was and is much easier to buy a 20A Variac and

Re: 2-C Receiver
Dave, I just took a quick look at mine and reminded myself how it works. The mode selector switch is inside the bandwidth selector switch (dual function). Most of the knobs are similar, though the
Re: R4C power supply question
Some of the earliest discussions were by the US Navy that was studying why tubes did not last long. Filament voltage was generally the culprit and gave rise to the +_ 10 % voltage range. The major

The extension of lamp and tube life applies to pure tungsten filaments.? These were common in large transmitting tubes.? For receiving tubes the general reccomendation is to keep filament voltage to

I am picky about things, but the twins are not going to be rigs I will use a great deal and probably seldom. No doubt the Sherwood updates are top-notch but it just wouldn't be worth it to spend the

Re: Strange AUX-7 for TR-7
That is true but if you do a lot of band hopping you wear out the Up/Down buttons (and your finger). And yes, there is activity on the WARC bands. Especially on major contest weekends when the

Re: Strange AUX-7 for TR-7
Not to discourage fabricating boards, but from what I can observe it seems like it would be faster and cheaper to just convert the TR-7/TR-7A to all band transmit using one of the two or three ways of

Re: Drake service CDs no longer available from K4OAH?
The problem at this time is that there is no account open at PayPal for K4OAH. So until one does get opened, PayPal has no way to make the payment and their policy is to cancel the payment request
