[Drakelist] TR-7 Question

2009-06-25 Thread RadiosRUs
In looking at one of the recent auction sites I note that a TR-7A is listed as being authentic. The proof was to take off the front panel and demonstrate that a S/N behind the panel matched the S/N on the back of the radio. Just a curiosity and perhaps for those of us new to the list, has

Ron, I don't disagree with in some cases purchasing a TR7A is a buyer beware. But I must say that IF the TR-7 has had all the modifications that upgrade a TR-7 to a TR-7A, the only remaining significant difference is the use of a '1496 balanced modulator in the 2nd IF/Audio board rather than the

Tom, You are right, physically there is no real difference between a late, loaded TR7 and TR7A, but the dealers get a real premium for that A label, so one should get what he pays for, hi. I liked Drake's policy of an old front panel replace with the identical, so that wasn't a problem till

Dave - T/R problems are often associated with the 10R and 10T control lines and their fuses, Q306 and Q307. Check both busses, marked on the parent board traces. Each must be very close to +10 when receiving or transmitting respectively AND very close to 0V inversely. You'll probably find

Hi Gents, I recently acquired my first TR-7 (thank you Evan K9SQG for sharing and thank you Gary W8PU for some technical guidance in finding a shorted pin diode). When I transmit on phone, I'm getting some garbled audio fed back into both the headphones and the external speaker connected via

Dave, Has anyone answered your question?? It sounds like the transmit/receive switch transistor problem that Garey Barrell helped me through with a couple of TR7's. If you haven't received any answers, I'll dig out my service manual and guide you through the checks and fix. 73, Don, WB5HAK
