My TR-7 is completely dead. I've carefully checked the power supply ... and the problem is not there. 13.5 volts is getting through to the rig. No lights or display come on or anything. No sound from the speaker. Reading Ronald's (WB4HFN) article on "Inside the Drake TR-7 transceiver", he suggests that I try the 5 amp fuse which is underneath the top cover on the rig at the front. Replacement is possible for the double-jointed it seems. It is located almost underneath the digital display board.
Does this fuse fail frequently? Is it a slow-blo type ... or just a regular auto-type fuse (3AG)? Is there anything to be gained by upping it to 7.5A or even 10A? Many thanks for your help 73 Richard VK1RJ -- -- Eraina & Richard Jenkins Canberra 'richardirena' on skype ... if at home ... +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ _______________________________________________ Drakelist mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.zerobeat.net/mailman/listinfo/drakelist
