    text vs morse code

    Well I meant that its not used nearly as much as it was say 10 to 20 years ago. I downloaded a software that teaches code, I think I'll give it a try. My Fathers friend has a practice key I think I'll get it off of him. We still have certificates for code up here, RAC still gives them...

    text vs morse code

    The fact that I don't need to learn code for my current privileges has me wanting to learn it just out of interest. The pressure of learning it is off, so it may come easier Although code is seldom used in ham radio, I still think people should learn it just for interest sake. PS: I...

    Drake TR7

    A quote from Bob "Hi Joe COngrats on the PRO SET..pretty simple, Joe. The vintage radios headphone jacks were always mono....they were built before any 'stereo' applications were thought of. All you need is an adapter from Radio Shack, etc....1/4" male mono to 1/4" F stereo. "

    Drake TR7

    Hi Beetle The adapter I use is the AD1D from Heil made for the TR7 I don't understand why they would make an adapter for the TR7 and then only have sound out of one side. They should have a disclaimer saying that sound will only come out of one side on TR7. I sent an e mail to Bob Heil...

    Drake TR7

    Thanks Beetle No I bought them from my ham store a few miles from me. They work fine on my laptop using echo link but when I hook them up to the Drake using the proper adapter they only have sound out of the left side. I have had great audio reports with them so they work fine in that...
