General Notes

Note

QST, Apr 1979, p. 197. QST, Sep 1979, pp. 210-211. (full specs) QST, Jan 1980, p. 49. QST, Feb 1981, p. 121. QST, Jan 1982, p. 155. The R-7 receiver provided continuous tuning from 0-30 MHz. It used the same PTO synthesizer setup as the TR-7 and could be paired with it as an outboard receiver. It had a tunable IF notch as well as a wide selection of optional filters. The R-7's power supply could operate from 100, 120, 200, and 240 VAC or from 13.8 VDC. General-coverage use required the optional DR-7 board. References Review. QST, Jan 1980, p. 49.
