I too, recommend the "SoldaPullit". I still have an original from 1975, when I was the Chief Tech for the old Burstein-Applebee, and later Denver SvcMgr. Be sure to buy extra tips, as even though they last quite a while - when you finally decided to replace it, you MAY NOT have one, otherwise.

Steve, The clips can be reshaped to allow the shield to snap in place and be held securely against the PTO frame. You have to put the curve back into them. They can sometimes be flattened out too much. 73, Gary ___ Drakelist mailing list Drakeli

[Drakelist] R-4B Voltage and Resistance measurements from Manual

2011-01-12 Thread Douglasnyman
Thanks to Garey k4oah who suggested I install a 1 Meg resistor to one of my multimeter probes. Voltage at V3 pin 1 now reads -9 volts. That's terrific. I will have to drag out my HP410C and see if it still works. Many thanks Garey. Doug SWL ___

Doug - If the receiver is 'working', I believe your problem is with your meter, not the receiver. You are probably using a DMM with wire leads. The voltages in the manual were measured with a VTVM, which had a 1M resistor AT THE PROBE TIP to decouple the lead from the measurement point. W

I've used an Edsyn Soldapullt" Model DS017 with good success for so long that I don't remember when I didn't have it. It's 7" long and big enough to hold onto and have good suction. You can easily re-cock it by pushing the plunger against the bench top, or whatever's convenient, making it a g

The problem I seem to have is that it's loose on one side. The clip's not broken but it obviously must be deformed. When I get some time (and the ambition to pull it out of its place on the operating desk) I'm going to try playing with the clip. 73, Steve, W1ES -Original Message- >Fr

Carl - OK, that is "probably" your 2 MHz offset problem. The 3V you are seeing on Pin 13 seems high. Typically CMOS should be less than 1.5 for a low, and greater than 3.5 for a high, so the problem might track back to U207. ICs can fail such that the OUTPUT is unable to pull an INPUT low
