Subject: [Drakelist] TR 3
I just picked up a TR 3 and have enjoyed learning about
tube ham radios. I
did get a copy of a manual which has been very helpful.
I read all the TR 3 posts in the archives and figured out
it needed the
jumper resoldered on the VFO plug and now it works and it
gets better every day. I am going to send it to Jeff in
Ohio for new caps
and a tune up and have the power supply rebuilt.
I do find it is the loudest on 20 meters 40 is good 80
meters is nice and
quiet and clear. 10 and 15 meters I have heard people out
there but the volume is very low. Is this just the way
they work or could
it be bad paper caps? Anyway thanks for having this group,
I will go back and read anything for the 3 and 4 series to
see what else I
can learn.

I don't know if Garey Barrell has a CD on this unit but
if he does you should get it. I have Garey's discs for the
4B series and the TR-4. He has very clean scans of the
handbooks, hi-rez schematics, and photographs of the
interior plus other stuff which is not available elsewhere.
