Neil - Go to http://www.tubesandmore.com/ and search for "lacquer stick - white". The stick is much much easier to use than paint and a brush; is very forgiving of mistakes; lasts a long time; and makes the white line look like new. I've restored a number of knobs on my Collins S-Line, and they lo

I noticed the white bars on my Drake knobs are turning brown. Can I us alcohol on the knobs to clean them? I used alcohol to clean a black plastic case of a clock and it left a film that can't be removed. ___ Drakelist mailing list Drakelist@zerobeat.

Hi Hank: Just another thought. Are you taking the Rx antenna feed from the T4x? That uses the TR relay to release the Rx antenna as the relay switches. I wasn't originally thinking of adding the RF into the muting test. Just open and close the mute line without the transmitter. I have hea

Thanks for the reply, Curt. No, I have not thought of a good way to simulate the switching without the T-4XC and still have similar timing of the RF load. The muting method in the NC-300 is simply opening the cathode circuit (same method as used with the RX / TX switch on the receiver. I supp

Have you tried seeing what happens when you simulate the same muting in the Rx without the T4x? It might be something in the Rx that does that when it switches. Your suggestion is certainly possible if the Rx Mute response is slow. It does not do this with a R4any. Curt KU8L On 10/18/20

I am using a T-4XC with a National NC-300 receiver and am using the receiver mute circuit to mute the receiver. This works well except that when I initiate a transmission with any mode, I get a rather sharp and loud thump in the receiver. It almost sounds as if the rf from the transmitter is h
