Trying to mod an older transceiver to pick off the discriminator output (which, as you can imagine...is a bit obtuse, especially on discrete component radios....) so I can expand my knowledge a bit. Anyway...in digging through the schematic and doing a bit of research, I THINK I found it...after reading up on the differences between the different types...but, would appreciate, if anyone can take a look at http://www.wb0yle.com/discriminator.jpg and tell me if I'm in the right area. The area I'm thinking I could grab (with a 10K inline resistor so as to not load the circuit?) is on the (input? output?) of C33 on the secondary of T7 in the above schematic? This looks like a classic Foster-Seely circuit, but would like a double check if anyone is so inclined.... (For those curious, it's an extract from the schematic of a Drake TR-33C, which was manufactured in the 70s by Trio/Kenwood and labeled for Drake. Believe it or not, it works quite well, and was picked up at an estate sale, and rerocked (Bomar had the crystal chart for this, believe it or not...) for local operations, but...picked it up for $5. so, figured it would be reasonable to mod this and put in a receive and xmt tone deck. Experimentation is the spice of the hobby...;) Am I in the right area? I know...need to see more of the chart, right? (also, FWIW, modified an old Maggiore HiPro E 2m repeater to interface to a DMK dongle, swapped it out with my 220 node (just so I didn't have to gin in another dongle...) feeding a cantenna on the output with a hunk of wire on the input RF connector...4 wires: discriminator out for usb COR, flat audio in through a 10K and varactor diode to the xmt, PTT to the keying relay and, lo and behold, it not only worked ok, it sounded great...now, just have to put an app in to get on the 2m wait list in the Philly area...;)) So...in the mood to melt more solder and play around a bit more. -- Bryan In this world, you must be oh so smart or oh so pleasant.
