[Drakelist] Fw: DRAKE TR7 HELP
Subject: DRAKE TR7 HELP Could one of our beloved TR7 owners please send me a CLEAR picture of 'Figure 2-1, Parent Board Pictorial', from the TR7 Service Manual. Figure 2-1 in my photo copy is illegible. I bought my TR7 in 1980 and it has given faultless service. However, right now I'm trying to bring it back to life after a Courier dropped it from a great height during my changing address. Your help will be greatly appreciated, John Bennett VK3ZA -- macb...@bigpond.com ___ Drakelist mailing list Drakelist@zerobeat.net http://mailman.zerobeat.net/mailman/listinfo/drakelist
[Drakelist] Help wirk Drake TR7 faults
Hello to the Group. Seeking help with my TR7, bought new in 1979. The Drake TR7 is quite uncommon in Australia; info hard to find Problem 1. Tuning: Each division movement of the main dial moves the digital display 1,8kHz up or down and the same on TX /RX. The Digital Display counter has been checked against a laboratory standard and is perfectly accurate. Why does this happen? This fault makes the rig useless. Problem 2. There is an instability problem in the bands above 14MHz. The display goes crazy and does not lock. Higher bands useless. Why? Problem 3. There is no or erratic keying on CW. Why? This aged ham, licenced 1950, needs a fellow Ham with comprehensive knowledge of the wonderful Drake TR7. Clues, ideas, thoughts or threads I can follow greatly appreciated.
