. Then measure the voltage across those resistors while adjusting
the bias. According to ohms law, they should have about .5 volts to be at 33
ma. So 2 tubes each at 33 ma each is 66 ma, which is very close. The little
bit off is still far more accurate than the error in reading the meter.

I would think that the only reliable way to accomplish QRP with the

a good transmitting attenuator pad and use up the wattage in that

13.6 Volt, 25 Amp power supply?
I really don't want my TR-7 to be the first test load.

In regards to the PS-7
Maybe it's just that 40M gets used the most :-)

anyone have a slick way to get the PCB loose?
Since this was a fairly abused PS-7, I first thought the transformer primary
had a high resistance short to the chassis. I still have excessive AC on the
chassis even with the wires disconnected from the PCB.

I use my R4A about 4 hours a day. Should it be left on continuously or is it
better to turn the radio off every night?
gee, I wonder how our grandparents would answer that question??

I have not tried it, but seem to remember a discussion of Kroil oil as
loosening the rust spots so you can gently clean them away. Not sure if this
was just talk or actual results.
Anyone tried it?

the TR7 manageable
is around 70 degrees. Same holds true for the B-line. The PTOs just
seems to move around much slower when in the correct ambient temperature home.

Is the chirping clocked or more free running in nature?

Neil,
I believe that you may be thinking of the TR7. I forget exactly, but seems
that there is an attenuator instead of a low pass filter below 1.5Mhz.
Communications Quarterly article from the 70s by Scott Prather discussed this,
and I think gave some solutions.

FWIW, Mine does the same thing since I have owned them. My limited
investigation found nothing wrong with any of the oscillators.

Neil,
I've plugged in a lot of stray and odd frequency crystals and they have all
worked. That said, the correct version of crystal will provide much better
band to band calibration. The frequency calculation as to where you are tuned
is much easier too.
