> HI Fellow Drake lover's
>
> I found the problem with my Drake T4XC.  I would not xmit by itself or
rcve.
>
> After checking everything in the OSC circuit and mixers I took a look at
the
> schematic.  I looked at the position of the crystal switch SW4E and G. The
> switch contact pointed toward the terminal with a wire to the crystal
> accessory socket on 160 meter band.  Mine didn't.  I unloosened the set
> screws holding the coupling and moved the switch to the proper position.
>
> That was the fix.  The coupling was not loose..  The gears must have moved
> during an exciting band switch movement.
>
> It now works 100% as a stand alone transmitter and it rcves with the R4C.
> Now I can work 40 mtr split and use it fer DX'in agn.

> Have fun  Keep warm
