Re: [drakelist] Noise Blanker discussion
Having used the noise blankers in the R4C, TR-7, TR-7A, R-7, and R-7A, I can say that they were not intended to suppress atomospheric noise, QRM, etc. and do not in fact do so. They were, however, intended to reduce the effect of pulse type ignition noise from cars, lawn mowers, etc. but fortunately, I am relatively free of these. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Fri, 11 May 2007 1:31 PM Subject: RE: [drakelist] Noise Blanker discussion David Chris Drake [EMAIL PROTECTED] made an utterance to the drakelist gang -- Hi all, I would like to start a thread regarding the various noise blankers Drake produced over the years.

Grant Youngman [EMAIL PROTECTED] made an utterance to the drakelist gang -- found any of them to be of much use, if any. Most of these are/were designed for pulse type noises, which, depending on your location and application may or may not be needed. That's what a Noise Blanker is for -- pulse type noise, electric fences, ignition noise, power-line noise, your neigbors old touch controlled lamp, and the like. They won't rid your audio of hiss, miscellaneous band grunge, thunderstorm static, etc. because these tend to be glops of noise rather that pulses of noise. The blanker in the TR-7 (NB7A) is very good, and the blanker in the R-4C is phenomenal. Practically speaking.Are they worth it? And,...outside of mobile operating, what noises are they effective? In my opinion, yes. If you've ever suffered throug the power company repeated telling you that the s-9 buzzsaw running on your receiver isn't their fault, you'd understand why :) Again, pulse noises -- ignition, power transformer arching (not in your radio, at the power pole), unfiltered electrical devices controlled by triacs, etc. But they won't necessary get rid of everything -- it depends on the blanker characteristics, pulse width of the noise, filter width and characteristics ahead of the blanker, etc. Someone also may wish to discuss other noise reduction alternatives such as the ANEM which el34guy mentioned. DSP noise reduction devices tackle a different problem (there are DSP-based noise blankers, but that's a different beast. It doesn't help much to blank a noise pulse in the receiver's audio chain -- it needs to be done BEFORE the noise pulse gets to the AGC). These basically reduce his and clean up or reduce some other forms of non-pulse noise. They can take a noisy 75M band at night and (at least on strong signals) give you much quiter copy. The end objective should always be to improve Signal to Noise ratio. Sometimes they do that, and sometimes they don't.

If those are not available, I'm open to suggestions on how to make use of the supply. Thom - Not all that complicated. I have to admit my first answer was a little discombobulated, making it look harder than it is!! A. There are three cables out of the PS-7 power supply 1. AC power cord ending in a three wire plug to plug into a standard power outlet. 2. Control cord, ending in an S-310-CCT connector. This is to plug into the back of the TR-7 and includes two wires that go to the Power switch in the TR-7 to turn it on or off. Pins 1 and 3 are tied together in the TR-7, and Pins 2 and 4 are tied together in the TR-7. A switch to connect Pins 1 and 2 together will turn on the PS-7 Supply. Other pins are used to control the fan in the TR-7, the and connect the Mute line and and ALC line from an external linear amp. The mating connector appears to only be available in the cable type with the back-shell, Cinch P-310-CCT. 3. DC output cord, ending in an S-2404-CCT (or equivalent). Pins 13 and 15 are the Positive (+) 13.6 VDC and Pins 12 and 14 are the Ground (-). Don't ask me why we have those pin numbers on a 4 Pin connector.. I have no idea, but that's the way they are numbered. This connector will mate with either a P-2404-CCT (cable version with back shell) or a P-2404-AB (chassis mount version with mounting ears). The pins are not connected together at the connector end. Separate wires are run from the supply to each pin. Bottom line is, if you short Pins 1 and 2 of the Control connector together with a piece of paper clip, you'll have ~30A of 13.6VDC at Pins 13/15 (+) with the return via Pins 12/14 (-).

Re: [drakelist] Noise Blanker discussion
The comments on the TR4_/R4_ blanker also apply to the TR7_/R7_ blanker: great for pulse noise, ineffectual for atmospherics. The TR7 blanker was designed during the days of the Russian Woodpecker and was amazingly effective against it. The best classic rig for noise control I've used was the Atlas 350XL; had a blanker for impulse noise and a limiter for atmospherics (at least that's my recollection; haven't used one since switching to the TR7 twenty some years ago, hi). 73 Lee WB6SSW ** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.

Ron Wagner [EMAIL PROTECTED] made an utterance to the drakelist gang -- David, I can honestly say that at my QTH, I can not live without the TR7 NB. I get racket from who knows where in the summer. Without the noise blanker a good signal is lost in the crud. Every NB that I have had (TR3 with 34-NB, B twins and TR7) have done good for me. BTW the noise is not in my house or it would be fixed. 73, Ron WD8SBB On Fri, 11 May 2007, David Chris Drake wrote: David Chris Drake [EMAIL PROTECTED] made an utterance to the drakelist gang -- Hi all, I would like to start a thread regarding the various noise blankers Drake produced over the years. I think I've had most of them. One in a TR6, R4C and a TR7A. Never put one in my Tr4C since I never found them usefull. The TR7a has one, and I never use it. I have to say, I never found any of them to be of much use, if any. Most of these are/were designed for pulse type noises, which, depending on your location and application may or may not be needed. These blankers usually sell for a lot of money or Epay, and seem to be coveted items to many. Practically speaking.Are they worth it? And,...outside of mobile operating, what noises are they effective? Someone also may wish to discuss other noise reduction alternatives such as the ANEM which el34guy mentioned. Thanks to all for your anticipated responses !!

Re: [drakelist] Noise Blanker discussion
Don and Diana Cunningham [EMAIL PROTECTED] made an utterance to the drakelist gang -- I would say for impulse type noise, like my neighbor's electric fence, the Drake blankers are superior. In fact, I am on the hunt for one for my TR7 so I can use it out here. Without the blanker (which I always sold with the rigs I used to buy, fix, and sell, not so with most nowadays), this one I have is a bother to listen to. Anyone got one to sell?? I have several of the dummy boards, and should have kept one of the noise blankers, I know, but I didn't need one in town and let them all go. Now that I have gotten to move to the country, I find a need for one again. 73, Don, WB5HAK -- Submissions:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe:[EMAIL PROTECTED] - unsubscribe drakelist in body Hopelessly Lost:[EMAIL PROTECTED] - help in body of message Zerobeat Web Page: www.zerobeat.net - sponsored by www.tlchost.net --
RE: [drakelist] TR7 Power Plug
sebdesn [EMAIL PROTECTED] made an utterance to the drakelist gang -- Bottom line is, if you short Pins 1 and 2 of the Control connector together with a piece of paper clip, you'll have ~30A of 13.6VDC at Pins 13/15 (+) with the return via Pins 12/14 (-). Since those two pins have 120v on em I use a 6pin male plug,The two end pins are shorted internally. Those two pins go into the 2 pins needed to turn it on,on the 10 pin plug. The two pins that need to be closed on the 10 pin plug and the 6 pin plug,shorted pins are on the ends so the plugs only have those two connections between them...hope thats clear?? Mark the two plugs with some whiteout so you get em in correctly. To get the DC out I soldered a#10 insulated wire to a tab that slips in the end of the DC out put plug and thence to the load... I read this three times and it may or not make sense..If it doesnt I will draw a pic and scan it for whoever needs it.. 73 de Bud WØHG -- Submissions:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe:[EMAIL PROTECTED] - unsubscribe drakelist in body Hopelessly Lost:[EMAIL PROTECTED] - help in body of message Zerobeat Web Page: www.zerobeat.net - sponsored by www.tlchost.net --

Bob Donnell [EMAIL PROTECTED] made an utterance to the drakelist gang -- The file is a PDF document that lost it's .pdf extension along the way somewhere. IE7 seems to open it fine, but if you're using Firefox as your browser, you need to save this file, then add the .pdf extension back on. Once that's done, Acrobat Reader will be able to open the file. To do that in Firefox, you right-click on the My March 07 QST Review for BHI DSP link, choose save link as, choose a place to save it, and modify the file name from ANEMReview.htm to ANEMReview.pdf. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, May 11, 2007 11:49 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [drakelist] dsp [EMAIL PROTECTED] made an utterance to the drakelist gang -- Im sorry, That previous link I either miscopied or it wont copy and paste correctly for me.
