Re: [Drakelist] New and R7 SMeter Query
The S-Meter circuits in the 7-line have undergone a number of revisions over the years that the rigs were produced. You can drive yourself nuts trying to chase them down. FWIW I pretty much just gave up trying to make sense of it and just adjust them "by the book". 73 -Jim NU0C On Wed, 2 Mar 2016 16:50:59 -0600, jetercreek wrote: > >Thanks for all the input, gentlemen.

Re: [Drakelist] New and R7 SMeter Query
Thanks for all the input, gentlemen. I have made some headway. Especially after I discovered the meter face had a good static buildup! I got it as close as possible and adjusted the IF gain to match the modern rig. It's all relative... But, if it reads anywhere close to what I consider normal in the region up to S9 +20, it is haywire above 20 DB and now CCW RF gain is only +40. I always considered (and found) Drake transceivers to have 5 DB between S units and great accuracy above S9. I there any chance the R7 was meant to reflect a different standard?

Re: [Drakelist] A BIG THANK YOU!
I have tried to share the overlay scans to the list in numerous ways but they are not geiing posted. They are both .pdf files. I tried a direct list post with both .pdfs attached it sent but that was 36 hours ago and still nothing to the list. If your anyone else has an idea I'm open to hear it! -- Tim, K8TJ - Original Message - From: Richard To: drakelist@zerobeat.net Sent: Monday, February 29, 2016 5:07 PM Subject: Re: [Drakelist] A BIG THANK YOU! How about sharing those copies with others. The best way to do that is reply to the list when you supply an answer. Please pass the information on. Thanks.
