The manual for the Drake SCHEET covers the setup and operation of a 10-meter adaptation for the Drake L7, including replacing the low-pass filter with RD-58 coaxial cable and adjusting the input coils as necessary. It also provides troubleshooting steps such as removing the band switch stop and adding capacitors to the input coil assembly.
Manual Overview
The Drake SCHEET manual provides detailed instructions for adapting the Drake L7 linear amplifier for 10-meter operation. The process involves replacing the low-pass filter with a short piece of RD-58 coaxial cable. For later models, technicians should switch the input and output coaxial-cable center conductors to the empty terminal lugs on the low-pass filter board, ensuring not to short the input to the output, which would not remove the filter from the circuit. Retuning the 15-meter input coils might be necessary, and technicians should follow the input-coil adjustment procedure in the owner’s manual. There is no tuning required for 10 meters. The manual also details the removal of the band switch stop, which varies between early and later models. Early models have a removable stop on the band switch index, while later models have a bracket mounted on the bottom plate. Additionally, two 68-pF DM19 or DM20 mica capacitors need to be added to the input coil assembly.
Quick Issues Covered
- Diagnose power-up failures with input coil adjustments.
- Resolve error codes by retuning 15-meter input coils.
- Use schematics for circuit tracing during low-pass filter replacement.

Installation / Setup
Owners of Drake L7 amplifiers can adapt their devices for 10-meter operation by following specific steps. The process involves wiring adjustments, such as connecting one wire to the jumper across the input wafer and the other to the input side of the 15-meter input coil. The amplifier should be placed upside down for clarity, identifying the 15-meter coil as the one farthest back and on the left, with the input side at the bottom end. The low-pass filter should be replaced with a short piece of RD-58 coaxial cable, and on later models, the input and output coaxial-cable center conductors should be switched to empty terminal lugs on the low-pass filter board. Care should be taken not to short the input to the output at the low-pass filter. The band switch’s stop must be removed; on early models, it is a removable stop on the back side of the band switch index, while on later models, it is a bracket behind the input matching filters. Finally, two 68-pF DM19 or DM20 mica capacitors should be added to the input coil assembly. Retuning of the 15-meter input coils may be necessary, following the input-coil adjustment procedure in the manual. There is no tuning required for 10 meters.
