Re: TR-35 issues / No response from WA3RNC

Hi Andrew, I'm glad you had a good activation yesterday. Just go out and have fun, the hunters will find you. I looked in my log and see that I have not worked you yet, but will keep my eyes open for you and if I can I'll hook up the TR35 and have a TR35 to TR35 QSO. It's awful hot down here now so ...

Re: TR-35 issues / No response from WA3RNC

I just brought out my TR35 to re-check the indicated vs actual transmitted freqs. It is not off as far as I first thought in my first post. I used my frequency counter which is by no means a lab grade counter but is pretty accurate. I used my IC7300 with the passband set down to 50HZ to monitor the ...

Re: TR-35 issues / No response from WA3RNC

Hi Andrew, I have a TR35 that has the same problem. I built it over a year ago so it is probably a low serial number. I have not tried to contact WA3RNC so I can't help you there. I have just been compensating for the difference, but it would be nice to have the indicated freq then same as the actua...

Re: Drone antenna

Good idea, but drones are not allowed in National Parks, Forests and Wildlife Refuges. Also I believe many state parks also restrict them.

Re: TR-35 group/forum

Hi Brian, Thanks for the reply. Wow, right there on the first page of the manual. Thank goodness for this forum for dummies like me who don't read the manuals. This was a fun build and even more fun to use in POTA activations interfaced with my Qrp Works Sidekar Extreme for logging contacts. I have ...

Re: TR-35 group/forum

When I power up my TR35 on 20 meters it always starts on 14.262 in the phone portion of the band. The other three bands always start at the bottom of the CW portion of the band. It's not a big deal, but I was wondering if that is the nature of the beast or if there is a fix, maybe a firmware upgrade...

Re: Testing new gear in the field.

Hi Ray, Lucky you! I'd love to find a package like that with all that great gear. I can't really comment on the Alex Loop as I have no experience with loops, but that bandwidth on 40 meters is really narrow. I generally use EFHW's or a Wolf River coil vertical on my activations. The bands haven't be...

Re: Storage container advice for TR-35

Hi John, This is a correction on my previous post about the Apache 550 case. The reason the lid slightly presses on the Tune button is because I attached two folding keyboard legs on the back of the TR35. This makes it about 1/4" higher when laid on it's back. Without the legs it will fit well ...

Re: Storage container advice for TR-35

Hi John, I got an Apache 550 case from Harbor Freight for I think $16. The Tr35 fits well in it, with the only problem being that when the lid is closed it depresses the Tune knob very slightly . It has a removeable rubber tray in the bottom so I am going to cut that out to the dimensions of the Tr3...
