Gary, I purchased your best CD from you and love it. However, I have a TR-4 C that is serial number 23470, that has a different pc boad than any of your pictures. It is adjacent to the VFO jones plug toward the filter cap. It has a .02 cap along with a 100, 22K, and 330 ohm resistor. I have PTO

Anyone know where one can buy a new front panel for an L4-B amplifier ? I got a good deal on it but the front panel has quite a few scatches. I also need the high voltage scew in plug for the amp end of the hight voltage lead. Thanks, Boyd W0BUW Terrell Hamilton [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:

That idea on the soldering iron is great. I forget mine all the time. It is only 45 watts, but could still do some damage. My ham friend found out about another great item. We have Steves Warehouses here in Oklahoma. For $19.95 you can get one of those measuring wheels to measure your antenna

How about running the bias through the coil of an in line small relay. It is held in any time the negative voltage is present. The present final cathode to ground circuit would be run through the normally closed relay points. Loss of any bias current and the relay cuts off the finals. Boyd
