[Drakelist] Stupid W-4 tricks

2010-06-28 Thread Jim Shorney
My bargain eBay W-4 arrived over the weekend, but I didn't get a chance to try it out until today. Scratched up case, but otherwise intact, it looks like it has seen life and then sat on a shelf for a while. Testing with the TR-7 and a Bird GigaHertz dummy load showed that it agreed within 10 or

I like the 100% concentration with the needle applicator. DeoxIT® D100L D-Series Needle Dispenser, 100% solution, 25 ml You only need a little bit and the sprays and brushes only encourage you to use too much. -Tom, AG9X On Mon, Jun 28, 2010 at 6:04 PM, Charles Ring w...@roadrunner.com wrote:

After some advice from Garey this last month, I thought I had my TR-4C working properly, but it limped through Field Day. It is still not working up to par and it looks like I'm going to have to go over the whole thing to get it working properly again. This may be a fall project, just too
