Re: [Drakelist] Two questions...TR7 related

Carl -

I believe it's RG-174.   It comes in either stranded (26 ga) or solid 
(24.5 ga) center conductor.  Belden 7805R is one, unfortunately Mouser 
only has 500' reels for $350.  Perhaps someone has the 100' put-ups for 
about $75.


If someone knows better, or another source, speak up!

The XMIT and RCV buttons are under FIXED for a reason!  The control the 
fixed frequency function of the AUX-7.  If no AUX-7, or no crystals in 
the AUX-7, the VCOs will unlock and settle around 18 MHz for the bands 
up through 20M, and around 34 MHz for the bands 15M and up.

Hello to the group,
Can anyone with some certainty advise what the coax cable 
part number is between boards on a TR7.

It appears to be RG174 with a 26 gauge solid core.
All replacements found have been 24 gauge...won't work has to plug 
into those little holes. In addition the source winds up shipping 
strandedguess they don't understand solid.
BTW I'd like to strangle the guy that soldered the shield can for the 
Up Converter board to U401's can in three spots...hope I didn't fry it 
out.
Second questionfront panel Fixed area RCV button.  anybody know 
what page it is shown on, wired to.  Per the operators manual the 
function appears to be only if you have an AUX 7 board installed. But 
it is doing some magical things...

Thanks in advance, 73Carl WD8NHK

Carl,

The switch connections are shown on the Chassis and Parent Board Schematic,
page 2-5 of the service manual. I suspect the magical things are the
synthesizer VCO free-running when the switch is depressed because there is no
PTO signal or fixed crystal signal in TX or RX, depending on which switch.

Sorry, can't help you with the first question. :)
