Lee - A T-4 was an early 4 Series transmitter that had no PTO or BAND Oscillator. It was only able to transmit in TRANSCEIVE under RCVR control with an R-4(any), or under crystal control. There is a photo of one on the front cover of the T-4X manual, and the schematic is in the back of

I could convert my T-4X back to T-4 if a front panel can be obtained, and increase the resale value. hi. My special edition T-4X's ser# is 0274, so I am guessing there are about 250 T-4 made/sold. Kihwal K9SUL From: ph...@aol.com ph...@aol.com To:

The NOVICE prohibition was still in effect when I had my Novice license back in 1967,The T4 had provisions on the side for one fixed crystal to be inserted, could be used for Novice. But when mated to the R4, it was VFO only. The TR-44 with a T4 had provisions on the side for up to 10 fixed

Terrell and others - OK, thanks. I got my Novice in 1957, but didn't know how long the prohibition lasted. I got my General about four months after my Novice, so didn't have to worry about it! :-) I knew the 2-NT was definitely addressed to the crystal controlled Novice licensee, and has

I must have been on the tail end of the novice VFO ban. I was licensed in the early summer (May, I think) of 1972, and STILL had that requirement. I'm not sure when it was actually lifted. Fun times, sending CQ on 15m and hunting the entire novice segment for a reply, HI. I only had a

All I had were a couple of 80 meter crystals - try to work all states on one frequency - it is a chore that I have yet to finish and now they shifted the 80 meter band! Then I found a VF-1 and was able to do a lot more. But, as pointed out, the filters were not that narrow and with today's

Got mine in 1963. I had three crystals for 40M and two for 80M. My buddies and I used to swap xtals periodically so we could operate new frequencies. The best part of getting the General license was being able to then use a VFO. That was a GREAT motivator! 73, Stew K3ND (ex KN3ZOL)
