Just got home from Dayton with a TR4CW/rit. Hooked it up and find that
the transmitter will put out 150w on cw. All controls seem to act
correctly. SO I think I am OK on the transmitter side. The receiver
needs some work. I can hear signals but the s meter does not react.
The calibrator moves the s meter to S9. Keying my K3 kicks the s meter
to 20 over. Signals which are S9 on my K3 are just readable on the
TR4CW w/o any s meter action. I plan to DeOx first and then proceed
from the antenna relay looking for trouble. But before I go through the
usual suspects, does anyone know if there is a frequent "violator"
typically causing these symptoms? Although I have experience
troubleshooting the Drake C line, this is the first time I have dealt
with a Drake transceiver. All help appreciated.
