Is anyone else having problems with Drakelist? Or more accurately
SPAMCANNIBAL.
The message I just posted had to be sent three times before it went
through.
Perhaps this is why there is so little activity on Drakelist.
DrakeRadio is looking more and more attractive.

Thanks for the replies. This seems to be some sort of SPAM trap on one of
the links between me and
the Drakelist server. I have NO spam controls via my provider, other than
their standard stuff,
which seems to work quite well. Once every two-three weeks I'll get a
message from them with a
message that they believe 'could' be spam, but so far they've all been
spam! Between that and the
JUNK system on SeaMonkey which has been 'trained' over the last year or
so, I rarely see more than
3-5 spam messages a week. So far the JUNK system has NOT trapped anything
that was NOT spam.
That's all great for incoming, but this SPAMCANNIBAL crap only shows up
'sometimes' between me and
Drakelist. I have to send something 3-4 times before it finally goes
through, and I guess that
message has just taken an alternate path to the one SC is on. Other
times, stuff just sails
through. But the frequency has taken a nasty turn the month or so.
For whatever reason, this is ONLY a problem with Drakelist.

Message-ID: <4f78c61e.7090...@comcast.net>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed
I recently acquired a " parts unit" T4XC........looks to good to be a
parts rig so I am going to make an attempt at saving it.
Somewhere along the line someone hijacked the T/R relay.
Is the relay for a TR7 the same relay,or is it a different part number?
I have one in the junkbox,but want to make certain before I plug it in &
possibly smoke something in the T4XC by putting in wrong relay
Thanks

Paul -
I don't think they're interchangeable, but I'm somewhat surprised that I
can't find any information about the relay in either the T-4X manual or
Garey's CD. I might just be tired.
The coil of that relay goes from the +250V supply to plate of the VOX
control tube V10. It may need to drop a fair amount of voltage across
that
coil. I've also heard of some folks modifying the circuit so that they
can
use a relay with a lower-voltage coil.

Hi Paul,
Garey must have gone out for a long supper. Here's what he said about
5 yrs ago:
GAREY - K4OAH <k4...@mindspring.com> made an utterance to the drakelist
gang
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Check your old relay. If it is a 15k ohm coil, you'll need to add a
1.5k, 1/2W resistor in series with the coil to replace it with the P&B
R10-E1Y4-V2.5K relay available from Mouser, Digi-Key and others. The
15k relays were unreliable because of the very fine wire required to get
the high impedance. The wire broke either at the terminals from
corrosion or inside the coil from temperature excursions. The
replacement is very reliable.

Since you don't have your old relay, maybe you should add a 15k res. &
see if it works. But maybe with your T-4XC it's late enough that the
replacement would have gone in at the factory. Butt -- Garey's old
response did have T-4XC in the subject.

Paul, Al and others -
The resistor is a 1.5k, (1W is better). I don't know when Drake
specifically changed over, but if
your T-4XC doesn't already have the resistor between Pins 6 and 9 of V10,
you need to add it. See
attached sheet from the CD.
