'Join the Piracy, See the World!'
I hear this morning that the surviving pirate from the Maersk Alabama incident is now in New York to face piracy charges. The little bugger is now a world traveller. Plucked from the Indian Ocean, and days later, in NYC! Such a deal! dxAce Michigan USA And, as always, don't let your children attend Louisville Technical Institute. They've hired at least one dufus who once claimed to have a PhD, and who knows, there may be more dufi there. |

Dave, you sound like a moronic twit who has a fixation with the Bush family! On another note, did you ever read that QST article the modification of the Drake TR7? dxAce Michigan USA And, as always, don't let your children attend Louisville Technical Institute.

On another note, did you ever read that QST article the modification of the Drake TR7? dxAce Michigan USA OK Ace, ya got me. what about the article on moding the TR7? i have been wanting an R7, but the prices are out of reason. i do have an MSR-2. i believe that passes as the marine version of the R7. and, yes i probably paid too much. but, i love the little extras for the LW band. really digs out the NDB's.

Apparently there is an article in a recent QST that describes adding DSP to the TR7. I was interested if anything in the article might also pertain to the R7. i have been wanting an R7, but the prices are out of reason. i do have an MSR-2. i believe that passes as the marine version of the R7. No, the MSR-2 is I think a totally different animal (because of the switch selection of the readout). What was once proposed was the MR-3, which is a repackaged R7: http://www.dproducts.be/DRAKE_MUSEUM/mr3_receiver.htm It never went into production. This from elsewhere on the site: Interview of Ray Midkiff, Father of the DSR and MSR Main Marine receivers Just rcvd. your e-mail on Drake products. The RR1, RR2, and RR3 rcvrs were modified versions of the SPR4 Rcvrs. designed to meet the Marine Reserve standards. They were designed by Bill Robertson (no longer with Drake) and Steve Koogler (presently at Drake). I designed the DSR-1 and DSR-2 receives intended as a commercial or laboratory synthesized all band unit and also the MSR-2 unit that was designed to meet the standards for a Marine Mains Rcvr. The MR-3 (repackaged R7) would not have met the Mains spec. ================== dxAce Michigan USA |

I got this receiver out of japan, i believe it was about 1989. came from a ship builder. it was still in the packing, never opened or used. i never really checked the history of this model. it says marine radio on the lower front. i keep it in a rack with a few other different brands. sure does pull in the NDB's. and being marine, i guess it's aimed at those freqs. but, as i said, i would love to have a clean R7 in my collection. what's the special draw on the RV-75-VFO? the bids on ebay are going up fast. BTW, the switch's for the readout work great, no need for a keypad. Drifter... |

I've always been fascinated by mobsters. I read the article, and then forgot all about it. I'll have to unearth it again. |
