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.
