Re: [Drakelist] RV-7 Frequency Bounce on TR

Curt - I haven't seen an answer yet. Mine does the same thing, even a couple of kHz one way or the other. I use the R-7, so hardly ever use the RV-7 and hadn't noticed it before. I suspect it has something to do with the GATE timing of the DR-7 counter board. I don't 'think' the GATE is

Curt - Just tried it with the R-7 in transceive mode and does the same thing. Still think it's the counter that has the anomaly 73, Garey - K4OAH Glen Allen, VA Drake 2-B, 2-C/2-NT, 4-A, 4-B, C-Line and TR-4/C Service Supplement CDs www.k4oah.com Curt Nixon wrote: Good Morning All:

I concur with Master Barrell. Although I haven't actually checked mine, I do seem to recall that it does that. It makes sense that it is an anomaly of the frequency counter. It is a pretty ordinary freq counter circuit after all, and counts a real RF signal in the radio. At the instant the radio

Thanks Garey and Jim: I kind of came to a similar conclusion after playing with the rig for a few hours. Monitoring shows no sign af any glitch on the real signal and I cannot hear any blip in rx either. Interesting that it is assymetric...ie does not jump when going from Rx to Tx but does

FWIW, Mine does the same thing since I have owned them.  My limited investigation found nothing wrong with any of the oscillators. --- On Tue, 8/16/11, Curt Nixon cptc...@flash.net wrote: From: Curt Nixon cptc...@flash.net Subject: Re: [Drakelist] RV-7 Frequency Bounce on TR To: Jim Shorney

[Drakelist] RV-7 Frequency Bounce on TR

2011-08-15 Thread Curt Nixon
Good Morning All: Recently picked up a great buy on a RV7 to go with the TR7. Needs a little cleaning on the gear set but works OK except for the following: When returning to rx after transmitting, the frequency display on the TR7 jumps in a momentary blip up between 200 and 800 Hz. It
