Good---happy new year everyone
Well I'm starting my first new year's resolution of getting some of my
old drake up and running.
Just did a few quick tests and there's some issues with several
transceivers.
so, in no manor of importance:
One TR-4 the band switch is tight. Grease or oil, or ??
Another TR-4 appears to be fubar. No receive, can't hear calibrator.
Another TR-4, when the mic gain control is advanced, the receivers
howls.
One TR3, everyone is 20 over s-9. A simple adjustment?
I don't have RG-62 to hook up between a TX4B and a R4B. Would a hunk
of RG-58 do?
All the rigs did work the last time I had them on, but they have sat
now for several years. I'm reworking the entire drake station and will
simply keep some juice flowing to them so they stay alive.
I put in new blue plastic in the TR3, but its not really the blue that
I think it should be. Do those overpriced blue LED make any difference?
Have great Holiday everyone!
