Re: [drakelist] 20 METER 14.238 NET
James E. Lanier [EMAIL PROTECTED] made an utterence to the drakelist gang -- I was going to try to check in, but conditions were not favorable. All drake-net stations heard were very weak, and I had lots of adjacent sigs at 40+db. Judging from the list , it seems to have been a western net. I'll try again next week.

[drakelist] TR5/PS75 sale
I would like to sell my TR5 and PS75 . Both are very nice with little use and have been in storage for some 18-20 years. I have been using them the last 3 months and all is well. I would rather not e-bay. If you are interested, please e-mail me and I will answer any questions you may may have. Jim N4BPM
[drakelist] tectured paint experiment that worked!
I first stripped away that disgusting sticky paint! I heated the cabinet in the oven at about 220F. I then applied brown primer spray. The primer boils on contact causing a rough surface. I let the primer dry. I then applied alternating very light coats of gray then black textured paint until I matched the shade of my other equipment. Unbelievable! it is almost a perfect match. Jim
Followup... Re: [drakelist] tectured paint experiment that worked!
I have had a few e-mails concerning this I removed the sticky paint with Methyl Ethyl Ketone, brush, cloths andsandpaper. The primer is Rustoleum 1967 Red Primer The Paint: Black Rustoleum 7220 Dark Pewter Rustoleum 7221 Good Luck! Jim N4BPM www.chemroc.com
Re: [drakelist] tectured paint experiment that worked!
Not sure, I purchased an ms7 to match my TR5 and the ms7had the sticky paint. My TR5 is the gray/black. The sticky paint ms7 was darker... before I made it match my TR5. Maybe the early tr7s were using the bad paint. I think there is a website that describes the differences between the early and late versions but I do not know the url.

When was this sticky paint used? I have a TR-7 with a gray like appearance which smells to boot and another with a great looking black like color that sits majestically on my operating desk. Tnx, Mike AK7P
Re: [drakelist] TR5 low mic sensitivity
Thanks to those who replied. It turns out that the VOX circuit is weak on ALL these transceivers. The TR7 has the same problem. I found modification posts on the www. for that vox circuit. (Although, the published mod is NOT the way I would do it.) I ran PSPICE simulations on the VOX circuit and I will make actual gain measurements to insure all is as it should be. I have tried this with my present mic as well as my D104. The VOX gain is just low. Jim
[drakelist] TR5 low mic sensitivity
My TR5 has low mic sensitivity. I have to turn vox gain up all the way and it is still not enough gain to use vox. My mic gain is typically set at 3 to 5 oclock normally. Anyone else had this problem? I have not statred trouble shooting yet, but I suspect the preamp (Q405) FET. It is common to both the VOX and the Mic amp. Later, Jim N4BPM
