[ARC5] Getting ARC5 and SCR-274N Txs on 40 m

[J Mcvey]

...But then you have to put markers on the dial.  Then again I don't really trust the dials anyway, I use a small portable frequency counter to verify the TX frequency. Mine are pretty close, but how can one know that they are on say, 7035 ? It's sort of a best guess scenario without the frequency counter, I think that's why they made the receivers so broad.

 Hello folks,If all you want is to use a non-40 m Command / ARC-5 Tx, eg, a BC-458 or a T-21 (5.3 to 7 MHz) on 40 m, you only need to adjust the VFO padder and the RF PA padder. No need to replace coils. However, if you plan to move a BC-457 or a T-20 (4 to 5.3 MHz) to 40 m, that requires more drastic measures, such as a coil change.73 de Brian, VK2GCE.

Happy New Year, Y'all! WayneWB5WSV
