Tom, Welcome home. As an owner of the TR-7 for 30 years, I can testify to what a great rig they are. I'd highly recommend looking for a TR-7 with a "3 piece" back panel. That signifies a later version that will have the minor improvements that were made over the years. The A model, as previously recommended, would of course have all of the improvements, a noise blanker and a CW filter (unless they were removed by a prior owner). Unfortunately, the A model typically commands a much higher price due to its collectability. As to accessories, the noise blanker is now fairly worthless. It was designed for the Russian Woodpecker, and did a great job. But it doesn't do a great job on atmospheric noises. Accessory filters are readily available for the TR-7 at around $40 each. So if you find a rig without the filters, it isn't that great a problem. 73 Lee WB6SSW In a message dated 3/22/2013 2:43:23 P.M. Pacific Daylight Time, [email protected] writes:
Good afternoon everyone, After a long absence from ham radio I am excited about re-entering the hobby and I am interested in acquiring a TR-7. It was my dream radio when career took me away from the hobby. Any words of wisdom you may have about the TR-7 would be most welcome. Is there anything I should particularly look for in a potential purchase? Any thoughts on what a TR-7 and power supply in good condition would cost? There is what appears to be a very nice one listed on EBay at the moment. Thanks and 73's Tom Ex WD5DFE _______________________________________________ Drakelist mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.zerobeat.net/mailman/listinfo/drakelist
