"Ron Baker" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> made an utterence to the drakelist gang ---------------------------------------------------------------------- I'm not sure if anyone has figured out or found a useful purpose for the Drake TR7(A) "Store Switch" function. If anyone has it would be interesting to educate us that hasn't a clue what its for.
Anyway, one function the TR7 lacks and I personally find a "must-have" feature for any transceiver is the ability to key the transmitter for tuning an amplifier or match box, This is similar to the "Key Lock" function on the Drake TR-5 transceiver. Yes there are other ways and means to key the transmitter but this modification is a simple circuit change which will allow transmitter keying from the from panel. It uses the "Store Switch", it still maintain the "Store" function other than in the CW mode. This modification is also 100% reversible if for any reason you later wanted to remove it. I did the modification to my TR7's a while back and shared it with a few Drake user friends. It was well received so I though I would share it with those on the listserver.
