Re: [Drakelist] Etek with a TR4C

[Steve Wedge]

IIRC, the signal to the Etec is picked off the INJ signal from one of the Twins.  I recall using a simple Y-adaptor for one of these when I used it with my C-Line. I also seem to recall that the TR-4 uses different frequencies in its crystal oscillator from what the Twins use, so I'm doubtful that you could use it to get an accurate reading from the TR-4 even if you did pick off the signal.  The INJ frequency is the combination of the xtal band oscillator minus the PTO frequency.  The way they get the readout, IIRC (again) is to subtract the 5595 kHz LO frequency from the INJ frequency to come up with the frequency you see on the readout. Example: 18.100 (40m band osc freq) - 5.450 (PTO) - 5.595 (car or LO) = 7.055 kHz. I'm sure I'll get corrected here if I'm wrong... 73, Steve, W1ES/4 -----Original Message----- From: Woody Sent: Feb 29, 2012 11:42 AM To: Drake List Subject: [Drakelist] Etek with a TR4C I didn't get any reply to my first post of this so I will try again: Hello, I have a question that I asked on the Drake Tech Net today (Sunday) and I may have misunderstood the answer. I have the Etek digital readout. Can the Etek be used with the TR4C, by hooking up on the plug for the RV4C on the bottom of the rig? If it can what pins do you hook up too? Jeff told me but I think I didn't have my brain engaged at the time. Which is not uncommon for me anymore.* *Thanks* *"Woody" --   Of all the things I've Lost, I miss my Mind the Most~~~     If you forward this e-mail, please delete the forwarding history Thanks "Woody"
