Hi Bob, I have a 2-A........... the mute setting should be the same as the 2-B.
First, when using "mute" function, the front panel switch should be left in STBY. The external relay you use should be GROUNDED on RECEIVE and OPEN on STANDBY. Sequence of the relay contacts should be such that the receiver is muted BEFORE the transmitter makes RF and that the transmitter stops making RF BEFORE the muting is removed. I have a Dow-Key with external contacts that does the job when I use it with the EICO 720 or the DX-60. Hope this helps. 73 Chuck W4MIL Palm Coast, FL -----Original Message----- From: Bob Peters <[email protected]> To: 'Discussion of AM Radio in the Amateur Service' <[email protected]>; [email protected] Sent: Mon, 22 Dec 2008 4:31 pm Subject: [AMRadio] DRAKE 2B` Hi All… I just picked up a 2B and having a problem with the MUTE.. Do the wires go from MUTE to GND?? Is it a normal open or normal closed??? Did someone do a scan of the manual??? I would love a copy if that is so.. Thanks all… Very Best 73's, Bob W1PE Mesquite,TX http://www.w1pe.com ______________________________________________________________ Our Main Website: http://www.amfone.net AMRadio mailing list Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ List Rules (must read !): http://w5ami.net/amradiofaq.html List Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/amradio Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.html Post: mailto:[email protected] To unsubscribe, send an email to [email protected] with the word unsubscribe in the message body.
