Graf Ulrich BenQ MD PD ST 2 ULM 1 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> made an utterance to the drakelist gang ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Hello Floyd,
the Wood Box VFO is operating very well. I don't use one myself but got it demonstrated on our great HAM FAIR in Friedrichshafen this year. You may see that the boxes are handcrafted but price is reasonalbe, the design is nice and Wood Box is still in business. 73, Uli, DK4SX BTW: as far as I know Wood Box makes use of the same Analog Devices DDS chip 9850 I'm using in my homebrew TR-7-update. Works perfectly well. -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Im Auftrag von Floyd Sense Gesendet: Freitag, 14.

"Floyd Sense" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> made an utterance to the drakelist gang ---------------------------------------------------------------------- I've learned a bit more since asking the question. The Misty Hollow unit for the TR7 is $475. If you use that unit, you lose use of your RIT on the TR7. You can, however, operate the new VFO in split mode so you can get RIT function that way. The Woodbox VFO includes circuitry to sense transmit mode in the TR7, and so it has RIT capability without running split. The physical design of the Woodbox unit is much more pleasing to the eye and matches the TR7 pretty well in panel design and proportion. I've not received any reply from them to two different emails asking about price and availability, so don't know if they're still in business or not! They also have a VFO that matches the 4 line in appearance, right down to the tuning knob. 73, Floyd - K8AC ----- Original Message ----- From: "Laird Tom N" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Floyd Sense" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; "drake" <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, October 14, 2005 9:09 AM Subject: RE: Aftermarket Drake VFOs? I haven't seen a response to Floyd's question. I'm interested specifically in the 4 line unit. What's the pricing on the two? Thanks, Tom WC9M Moline, IL. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Floyd Sense <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Has anyone tried the Woodbox or Misty Hollow VFOs with the TR7 or 4-line? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 ----------------------------------------------------------------------
