Check your new cables and the phone jacks on the rear panels first; perhaps the ground bar in the vfo as well.. ----- Original Message ----- From: Paul Havlik To: [email protected] Sent: Friday, November 17, 2006 1:07 AM Subject: [drakelist] Need help with T4X
I'm hoping someone on the reflector may be able to point me in the right direction on my Drake T4X. I picked up a T4X/R4B pair through a swap. As I've cleaned it up and retubed the rigs, I've encountered a problem with the T4X switch that switches the radio from the receiver VFO to the transmitter VFO. I cannot obtain any "switch" to the transmitter VFO for it to become active and work in the transmitter position. The radio has been totally retubed and contacts cleaned with the good deox spray and I have all new working cables back to the receiver. The receiver works fine, the transmitter output works fine, but I am unable to use the separate transmitter VFO as a receiver. In the transmitter position, all I hear and can control is the receiver VFO. I have also checked the anti-vox from one of the website articles and that setting has no effect on the relay firing to energize the transmitter VFO. I'm sort of stumped at this point wondering whether I need to begin looking at the transmitter VFO solid state components as to why I'm not hearing anything or having any control over that transmitter VFO for receive. Or, is there some relay inside the receiver that is not "handing off" back to the transmitter VFO when I move that switch? I have received a signal from the spot position on the receiver VFO when moved to that position. I'd appreciate any ideas that can be provided. This is my first time tackling a restore on a Drake beyond very common problems. Thanks. Paul [EMAIL PROTECTED]
