Default Improving the Drake TR-3

So, what do you all think?



Is this a Good Idea, or a Bad Idea? Depends on how much you want
too do it


Should I try to find a cruddy TR-3 and do the surgery, or am I


just being silly?

Your comments and critique are welcome (he says, ducking for


cover.)

First of all everyone needs a hobby for those cold winter nights
when the band is not open. If I had the time and energy, I would
look for a well used TR-3 and have at it. It would no longer be
a Drake, but something that gives you the satisfaction of
accomplishment when it is all together and working.

Leanne,

Thanks. I'm keeping my eyes open for the right rig. I've already got an
order in for the Norcal FCC-1 frequency meter. It then can bolt up to a
9850 DDS card, and provide all I need. I think. I'll certainly have
extra parts for the working TR-3...
