Just following up here.. I replaced C107 with a 250VDC 47mfd electrolytic capacitor. Actually, I left C107 physically in place as it's a dual capacitor in a can and is mounted on the chassis. I didn't look to see what the other capacitor in the can is connected to. Time was short, I was installing the new cap about an hour before the CW Sweepstakes contest started Saturday. I'm going to look for a can replacement for a long term solution. Or maybe replace the other half but leave the can in place for cosmetic reasons. There is room under the chassis for the two new components. Meantime, the sidetone is now great! I just spent 24 hours listening to it during the contest. BTW, my antenna makes me a non-contender (going to have to build an amp) but the Drake C-line performed admirably! Man-0-man, I love this gear!! 73, -Doug, W7KF ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 ----------------------------------------------------------------------
