[Drake] T4XC questions

[Richard Holder]

Hi folks out in Drake land.
It is getting cold enough here that it is about time to work on indoor 
projects.
I started a R4C - T4XC pair that hadn't been used for about 25 years last 
spring.

Both work, but with a couple of, I hope, minor problems. I will ask about them
before I start taking things apart.

I have done nothing to the T4XC except turn it on and use it, so I will 
start now
with a good cleaning of all the wafer switches with DeOxit.

When using the pair there gradually appears a signal on the rx freq. A 
quick switch
to the tune postilion on the tx and the signal is gone. Might the switch 
cleaning
help this?


The spotting signal works well when the tx is first turned on but after it 
has been
on for some time, it disappears, so there is no way that you can find the 
tx signal
to put it on the same frequency as the rx. Any ideas? (can't transceive 
because the
bfo is off freq. Still have to fix that)

Thanks in advance for your help.
