Woody and Everyone,
There are four basic things that have to be done on an L7 to get it on 10 meters. 1. Bypass/remove the 10 meter filter board on the input circuit. 2. Remove the mechanical stop on the bandswitch; there are at least two, and possibly more, ways in which Drake implemented it so you have to adjust your approach commensurate with what was used on your amp. It can get ugly and be aware of dropped parts that go into unwanted places. Use of blue "Painters' tape" can help to catch the falling parts. 3. Install two 68 pf mica caps on the input circuit per the article that is out on the Internet. I have it but don't have time right now to post the link or reference. Removing the bandswitch shaft is necessary to do this properly. 4. Adjust the 15 meter input coil as warranted. 73, Evan, K9SQG -----Original Message----- From: Woody <[email protected]> To: Drake List <[email protected]> Sent: Wed, Oct 19, 2011 7:40 am Subject: [Drakelist] 10 Mtrs on a L7 Hello Everyone from a Very Cool "Heart of Dixie" What has to be done to the L7 to get it to work on 10 Mtrs? Now before you get too technical on me remember I'm Dumb as a Rock, so please explain in lets say Electronics for Dummies mode.
