Agreed Garey! I have a better suggestion though: keep the TR7 and if it is so needed, buy that ugly ricebox in addition. Soon finding out that it is nice to go back to the TR7 from time to time :)

Personal opinion follows.......

In a word, YUK!

It's like jacking up a Jeep and putting a Corvette engine, transmission and wheels under it. What you end up with is neither a Jeep nor a Corvette, but a collection of parts.

Much better to sell the TR-7, take the money you'd spend on the "improvements", and buy a new YaeComWood.

Hello,

Did anyone read the article on modernizing a TR-7 by DK4DDS. It has information on adding a ton of features, such as DSP Noise reduction, curing the PTO Drift, Notch Filter, Improving the sensevity on the higher bands, Speech Processor and a bunch of others. It is some great food for thought, for bringing a great radio into the 21st Century.

Great Stuff. I'm thinking very hard about trying most of them out. Most of them do not require modifing the original Circuit boards, just adding boards. If anybody had some comments/information on these mods, I sure would be interested.

Best,
