[drakelist] T4XC/R4C out of sync

2005-04-25 Thread K4GM-George
separate PTOs or transceive with the rx PTO all works great.  Is there a trimmer or coil I should tweak to bring the two peaks closer together?? Ive got the Drake manual and Garrys CD.  Thanks in advance. K4GM- George

Re: [drakelist] Drake L-4B

2008-07-28 Thread K4GM-George
I've used a 20 amp line for a couple of years. My L-4B works great. If you do the math (P=EI) at 20 amps you would have capacity for roughly 4800 watts which is at least DOUBLE the AC wattage needed for the L-4B for full RF output. 73, George K4GM Bill wrote: Just bought a Drake L-4B amp

[Drakelist] R4C static after Sherwood 3d mixer mod

I have obtained an R4C with many of the Sherwood mods installed including the solid state 3d mixer which is supposed to eliminate the dreaded frying crackle. Unfortunately occasionally I hear a bit of static sounding to me like what a brief solar flare might sound. It is not really a hiss

[Drakelist] L4-B resistor substitute

I have an ailing R12 in my L4-B power supply. Although functioning a portion of the outer cover has split off and I am afraid it is only a matter of time until it fails. The resistor is listed as .82 ohms at 2 watts. There is a note to replace with IRC Type BWH resistor only. I did find a

I turned on my trusty T-4XC a little while ago and it failed me! I will try to swap out a tube or two but here are my observations in case anyone might be able to point me to the fix. 1.The PTO appears to work fine because I can use it to operate the R-4C in transceive mode using the xmtr

Just got home from Dayton with a TR4CW/rit. Hooked it up and find that the transmitter will put out 150w on cw. All controls seem to act correctly. SO I think I am OK on the transmitter side. The receiver needs some work. I can hear signals but the s meter does not react. The calibrator

Last night I exercised the RCVR/XCVR slide switch on the side of the radio and it came to life. Seems to work well on 80/40 but 20m is in need of help. The RF Tune is out of range; i.e., the gain on 20m increases as I turn CCW but I hit the end of the range before it peaks. I will align
