Re: [Drakelist] Fwd: My R-4B audio?

Garey, Yep, I'm still up and working on this baby... OK, one other thing I found: Resistance checks at V7: Pin 6 slowly goes up to 4.8K instead of being 15K like the book says Pin 7 slowly goes up to 4.6K...pretty close to the book I have checked a lot of resisters in both the atrea of Q7 V7

Re: [Drakelist] Fwd: My R-4B audio?

Garey, Mike others as well, The saga continues... I lifted the lead of the Q7 base coupling cap ( the .1) and even tried a new one of .1 and ,47.. Q7 voltages are: Base = .5v Emitter = 0v ( .003) Collector = 18.5v IS IT SUPPOSD TO BE THAT HIGH?? Don't think so. Audio at 12:00 id just

Re: [Drakelist] TR4C 40 Meters off frequency

If you have one of the band crystals off, and you don't want to put up with it...Just get a new one for $20.95 each. Puts it right back om the money. 73, Lee -Original Message- From: Jim Shorney jshor...@inebraska.com To: Drakelist Drakelist@zerobeat.net Sent: Thu, Apr 7, 2011 10:33

Re: [Drakelist] Crystals for 30 - 17 -12 meters

If I may add...Yes International has excellant service, seems they get the crystal 'ON' and they charge only $20.95 each...takes about 2 weeks to get them after ordering. I have got some used ones...paid $12.00 - $20.00 and they were OFF frequency more than I like...FWIW. So, new for me

[Drakelist] L-4B reduced power

Garey, Hi... I was just reading a post you made on reduced drive to the L-4B from the T-4any. You mentioned having the load at 0. Are you talking the T-4any or the L-4B as to the loading on 0...I suspect it is the T-4any. What if we load up the T-4any to a lower power out by putting the
