HERE IS ANOTHER PRODUCT OF MY DOWNSIZING. I DOUBT THAT YOU WILL FIND A TR SWITCH AS CLEAN AS THIS ONE. EVEN THE ORIGINAL POWER CORD IS PRISTINE. IN THE BOATANCHOR CW DAYS, A TR SWITCH WAS THE WAY THE KINGS OF HIGH SPEED CW SWITCHED FROM TRANSMIT TO RECEIVE. NO RELAYS CLATTERING, AND NO EXTRA SWITCHES TO THROW. I USED THIS SWITCH WITH MY RANGER AND VALIANT TRANSMITTERS FOR SEVERAL YEARS. I WAS LICENSED IN 1960, AND HAVE MANY FOND MEMORIES USING THIS TR SWITCH WHILE MY FRIENDS TOOK THE LONG ROAD BY USING VARIOUS SWITCHING METHODS THAT WERE CUMBERSOME AND SLOW. DURING A CONTEST, I GOT TO THE STATIONS BEFORE THEY DID, SIMPLY BECAUSE I HAD FULL BREAK IN. REMEMBER: IF YOU USE A TR SWITCH, USE AVC ON YOUR RECEIVER, OR HAVE THE RECEIVER IN EASY REACH SO THAT YOU CAN TURN DOWN THE RF GAIN! THIS SWITCH WORKS PERFECTLY, THE TUBE IS GOOD, AND YOU CAN EXPECT FLAWLESS BREAK-IN. I AM NOW DOWNSIZED TO A TEN TEC JUPITER TRANSCEIVER THAT HAS QSK AND IS A DELIGHT, BUT FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE STILL GOT THE BOATANCHOR FETISH, THIS IS FOR YOU. OH, I STILL HAVE MY AS NEW RANGER AND VALIANT, BUT USE THEM ON AM THESE DAYS. I PLAN TO TAKE THEM WITH ME TO MY GRAVE! (please look at our rules and privacy policy) |
