[Drakelist] crystal frequencies

2011-08-16 Thread Henry Foglesong
I am waiting for a T-4XC and manual that I just purchased to arrive and have not found a good clean copy of the crystal frequency chart, so I would like to have someone confirm the frequencies of several crystals I need for extra coverage: Usable frequency - 1.8 - 2 Mhz --- Crystal freq - 12.6

There is a good manual online at http://www.wb4hfn.com/DRAKE/DrakeManuals/T4XC/Manual_T4XC.htm The crystal chart starts on Pg-12. Yes, you have the frequencies right. ICM is the place to go. 73, Bob WW3QB From: Henry Foglesong hwfogles...@gmail.com To:

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

[Drakelist] Hi-fi AM mods?

Before I start stripping this T-4XB, I'd like to know that I'm not killing a niche collectable. This rig looks like it has had the CW mode erased from it, has a lot of shielded cable that the factor didn't install and a big, huge, honkin' relay underneath. Since I wanted a stock T-4XB to do

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 Jump

2011-08-16 Thread Bob Loving
I have a homebrewed RV-7 substitute that I just tried on 40M CW. There is no change in the displayed frequency on the TR-7 if the RV-7 is in control. If I use it for only TX or only for RX, the displayed frequencies are as expected without any jumpy error. Bob K9JU
