I am in the hunt for two AUX-7 boards, for my TR7 and R7. Please help if you are able…

You will pay a premium price for a genuine AUX-7. A workable substitute that gives you WARC and VLF coverage is what I call the "FAUX-7" board available from Far Circuits. It is a reproduction of a diode matrix AUX-7 replacement published in QST July 1982. You buy the bare board from them and you supply the diodes and connectors. There is also an article I think on wb4hfn.com on building your own AUX-7 board. Neither of these includes the provision for a fixed frequency crystal, but in all my travels I have only seen almost one person who used this. 73 -Jim NU0C On Sat, 03 Feb 2024 01:38:55 -0800 "Joseph K4JNG" <jgraif1@...> wrote: I am in the hunt for two AUX-7 boards, for my TR7 and R7.

Thanks, Jim ? ?????????? I had a feeling this would not be easy. I do see, however, that Nationwide sells crystal “packs”. Of course, that’s the easy part, eh? ? joseph n. graif k4jng ?

The aux 7 from Fair Radio is the way to go..? the rest of parts you can get from Mouser or other supply houses.i have used about 10 of these with no issues.

Unfortunately, I don’t believe I possess the required building skills. I’m going to ask the individual working on my 7-line equipment. ? joseph n. graif k4jng ?

There nothing at all complex to building the FAUX-7 Far Circuits board. Stuff a bunch of common diodes and some connectors onto a circuit board. Solder. Done. Compared to street price for 2x genuine AUX-7 plus diode modules for the bands of interest you will save a bunch of money. 73 -Jim NU0C On Sat, 3 Feb 2024 11:57:26 -0500 "Joseph K4JNG" <jgraif1@...> wrote: Unfortunately, I don’t believe I possess the required building skills.

I have a bag of the Molex edge connectors used in the TR-7/R7 if anyone is interested. Looks like Mouser no longer carries them.

Yes, they do still carry them under different part numbers. Look for Molex KK series 156. Here is one example: 73 -Jim NU0 On Sun, 04 Feb 2024 09:16:06 -0800 "Dale Parfitt" <PARINC1@...> wrote: I have a bag of the Molex edge connectors used in the TR-7/R7 if anyone is interested.

Actually, I would need enough to populate 2 boards. I'm not sure how many the boards take.

According to the QST article, 24 pins. Two 10-pin and one 4-pin were called out, but other combinations have been used. Another note on the QST article, you don't actually need the 100K resistors if you have the (most common) early Digital Control board. They duplicate resistors on that board. 73 -Jim NU0C On Sun, 4 Feb 2024 19:09:12 +0000 "Clint VE3CMQ" <ve6cmm@...> wrote: Actually, I would need enough to populate 2 boards.
