[Drakelist] Possible problem with T-4XC xmtr

Hi all, don't know that this question went out on the list: Friday I was tuning up my T-4XC on 80M. Heard a very loud POP came from somewhere behind the front panel. No smell of smoke or oazone. Never tune for more than 4 or 5 seconds at a time and never off-resonance more than 1 or 2

I have a Drake T-4XB and the R-4B Can anyone tell me how to get a side tone when on CW with the receiver in ext mute position? - Original Message - From: drakelist-requ...@zerobeat.net Date: Monday, February 22, 2010 7:23 am Subject: Drakelist Digest, Vol 20, Issue 31 To:

Re: [Drakelist] Drakelist Digest, a question

If you have a good ANTI-VOX cable connected, and the ANTI_VOX control on the side of the receiver is at mid-range, you will have sidetone unless there is a fault in the transmitter or receiver. If the transmitter functions in TUNE mode, the sidetone generator is working, but there may be

[Drakelist] Hum on Drake 2-C Receiver

Hello..I am getting hum only in the AM position and it goes up and down with the volume control. I replaced the caps in the high voltage section but not in the 12 volt supply as they are hard to get at and since I do not hear the hum on SSB I am assuming, maybe incorrectly, that they are ok.

Re: [Drakelist] Home made cable..

Doc - Belden has a nice cable, 27341A that looks like it would work. Only catch is it comes in a 5000 foot reel.!! Twelve (12) #16 AWG conductors, 600V RMS insulation, multi-color coded with a silver-gray overall sheath, 0.5 dia. Let's see, 5000', 10' each, only 500 participants. Unless

Re: [Drakelist] Home made cable..

Doc When restoring my L4B and rebuilding the PS I took the opportunity to rebuild the cable as well - it gave me a chance to take the stiff HV line out and replace it with a separate HV cable (automotive high tension line works well) and new matching connector on the PS (right next to the new

[Drakelist] C-Line Dial problems

I recently bought a nice T-4XC that works fine except for the tuning mechanism. The dials hang up and don't move sometimes. I took the tuning knob off and find the brass sleeve slides along the tuning shaft to the PTO allowing the gears to come un-meshed. Also the shaft turns WAY too freely

[Drakelist] TR-4C tube shields

Even though I've had this TR-4C (#40249) about 2 years I've only just today took the top cover off for a look. I noticed that the metal shields are missing from V6 (12BY7A) driver and V12 (12BA6). Is this something I should be concerned about? Where, if anywhere, can I find replacement

Re: [Drakelist] TR-4C tube shields

Ken, Drake stopped installing tubes shields on those tubes a long time ago. The TR-4C never had them installed. 73, Gary W8PU http://home.roadrunner.com/~w8pu ___ Drakelist mailing list Drakelist@zerobeat.net
