Yeah, I've seen various mods for adding 160, but they're compromises and - as
mentioned here - they butcher the tuner. Those mods are best left for a real
dog that you might find - one that has half the paint already flaked off or was
previously re-painted/butchered by a PO. ;-)

I have a Drake R-4C with several of the Sherwood mods. It came to me in non-working condition. The radio looks pretty clean, BTW, but the PD-4 board was removed from the receiver, for some reason. The installation of the mods looks a little rough, i.e. probably not done by Sherwood. I could dope out a schematic of the PD-4 on my own, but really don't know how the radio got modded in the area of the product detector to hook this PCB up. I'd appreciate it if someone could share that info with me- schematics, pictorials, or written instructions. This PD-4 may be an older type? It has the TL442CN IC. I saw some internet notes by Bob Sherwood in which a different IC type was mentioned. This PD-4 has a 14 pin DIP. Recent Sherwood photos of the PD-4 show an 8 pin mini-DIP.

Hi, everyone - Everyone on HF eventually needs a good high-power tuner (unless you're operating QRP, but even then, the high-power tuners have the least loss). What I have right now that may interest you is a Murch UT-2000B. This is a roller-inductor transmatch that does 160-10m. The caps are large as well. The only caveat is that the toroid that used to be in it for balanced line was removed due to its being zorched when I tried stuffing 1500W through it. The rest of the tuner will handle 1500W whilst barely breaking a sweat on 80-10. I'd keep it under 750W on 160. $130 + shipping. It's pretty light.

Re: [Drakelist] (no subject)
Chuck, My plan is to bring audio out to an unused RCA jack that can be restored later if necessary. I have a modified Marantz 1030 integrated amp. It's modified so that the balance control is now a fader control. The MONO button bridges the two channels together. Why would I do this? Part of the same plan is to slave another R-4C using the VFO from the first R-4C. This will alow for true diversity reception and also offer an other DX split option. Clifton labs buffer amps will isolate the VFO lines. I'll tap the high side of the existing R-4C AF controls with a 1 uF cap to the Marantz 1030 where its input Z is about 2K ohm. In addition to being a Hi-Fi amp, the Marantz will form the control center for the two R-4Cs. For your purpose, I would also tap the high side of the R-4C AF control with a 1 uF cap on its way out the back to the Hi-Fi amp of your choice. If you still want to use the R-4C AF control, simply tap the coupling cap to the AF control's wiper arm. Just ensure that the amp has a moderately high input Z. Most consumer equipment uses a Z of about 2k ohm. The lower the input Z of the amp, the larger the coupling cap value required.

Tom, You won't get output in the non-X posn. in Tune or CW modes, only in SSB. That's the way it is. Do you get output in the non-X posn on SSB when you whistle into the mic? If so, then things are OK. If not, then maybe a filter is bad, or the carrier osc. is not centered properly. 73, Al, W8UT www.boatanchors.org www.hammarlund.info There is nothing -- absolutely nothing -- half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats Ratty, to Mole On 11/26/2010 10:53 PM, pony...@aol.com wrote: Back again, Howdy folks I recently posted a note about my broken TR-3, got a couple suggestions, followed through, and a little life is being observed.

Hey Don, and to the Group -- Funny Story - but a good one too. Often times, in the past I have questioned why I have more than one radio - setting here in the radio room, gathering dust, when I turn on my ole' favorite to chase DX on CW or to listen to the 3915 swap net on Sunday Morning. But then I realize that there is comfort in having two of the same radios, for many reasons. The one that sticks out the most is that I can monitor two of my favorite bands at the same time and I will not be off the air if something goes wrong. And that I don't have that much tied up in either one of the radios so I can enjoy them both knowing that the newer ones cost much more. Just a thought or two -- Enjoy Rick NU7Z ___ Drakelist mailing list Drakelist@zerobeat.net http://mailman.zerobeat.net/mailman/listinfo/drakelist

Re: [Drakelist] (no subject)
Chuck - No, that is not right. I would suggest checking the setting of the Preselector end to end travel and the adjustment of the slugs in the moveable rack. The dimensions are given in the manual, and are measured from the top edge of the white coil form. The typical situation is that the 10M trimmer caps are too loose, resulting in the alignment changing from the bump turning the chassis over! The fix here is the same, check those slug positions. Highly unlikely, but I have seen at least one case where someone had swapped the wrong slug rack into a transmitter. 73, Garey - K4OAH Glen Allen, VA Drake 2-B, 4-B, C-Line TR-4/C Service Supplement CDs www.k4oah.com Chuck Pool wrote: Hi to all: This is a T4X-C question.

Re: [Drakelist] (no subject) cooling fan for Drakes
Yes, by all means draw the heat away. I was lucky enough to find a 115V AC muffin fan and just put it into the power strip. I like Bob's 12 V into a 24 V for slower motion. It really does not take much movement to do the job. Although I have not tried it, you could probably put the fan on the side or back to draw away the air, but improving natural convection seems more intuitive. Let's face it, these rigs have been used for decades w/o fans and survived!

Re: [Drakelist] (no subject) cooling fan for Drakes
A 220VAC run on 120V will do the same trick. Moves air and is relatively quiet. Lots of 220V fans at the flea markets for cheap. Fans should generally be mounted in such a manner as to take advantage of any natural convection. A perfect location is above the cage for the finals pulling the air up from the final and exhausting up, and not blowing down. 73 Gene K1NR On Fri, 29 May 2009 12:32:55 -0400 Kris Merschrod k...@merschrod.net wrote: Yes, by all means draw the heat away.

Re: [drakelist] (no subject)
Hi Randy! There are some substantial differences between the PS7 and the PS75. Basically, PS7 will deliver25A, and PS75 just 15A. I have pasted below the general descriptions of both, for reference. If I was you, I would go for the PS7. If you are not completely happy with the cosmetics, I don't think restoring it should be abig problem, and it can be fun too. Check if it comes with a cooling fan, which is an interesting option tothat power supply. Hope this is useful 73 Fernando, EA4BB The PS-7 is a 13.6 volt DC regulated power supply capable of delivering up to 25 amps of continuous current. Excellent voltage regulation is provided by a silicon monolithic integrated circuit and associated circuitry. Output voltage and current are adjustable with internal controls which have been factory set, to provide 13.6 volts at up to 25 amps. Other features include short circuit and over voltage protection and programmable primary voltages.An auxiliary 13.6 VDC output is provided on the rear panel and is fused internally at 1 amp. Primary voltages of 100, 120, 200, and 240 VAC, 5O-60 Hz may be used with the PS-7 and may be quickly changed via the programming switches. For demanding duty cycles, such as extended RTTY or SSTV transmission, the model 1529 FA-7 Cooling Fan is recommended for additional cooling, especially at ambient temperatures above 25°C. When the PS-7 is subjected to a current overload or short circuit condition, the regulator circuit Will automatically shut down. The unit may be reset by momentarily switching the ON-OFF switch on the TR-7 to OFF or by removing the AC primary voltage to the PS-7. The power transformer is protected by an 8 ampere type MDL fuse on primary voltages of 100 or 120 VAC or a 4 ampere type MDL fuse on 200 or 240 VAC. Refer to Figure 1 for location on the rear panel. This fuse should be replaced with another fuse of the same type and rating. The auxiliary DC output is internally fused with a 1 amp type MDL fuse. This is located inside the unit, on the regulator P.C. board. This fuse should be replaced only with another fuse of the same type and rating. The PS-75 is a high current, 13.6 VDC power supply for use with solid state transceivers in CW or SSB modes. The supply operates from a primary voltage of 100, 120,200 or 240 VAC, 50-60 Hz (switch programmed), and provides 15 amperes continuous at an unregulated voltage of 13.6 VDC (nominal) for use with solid state power amplifiers and a 3 ampere regulated out-put for use with the remainder of the transceiver. In addition, a regulated 13.6 VDC at 1 ampere is provided for auxiliary equipment. The supply was designed primarily for SSB operation at current levels of 15 amperes average and 25 amperes peak but Will also provide reliable performance on CW at current levels of up to 25 amperes. Some CW signal quality degradation due to the increased ripple may be noticed at CW power levels which exceed 15 amperes current drain (usually about 75 watts).
