First, I looked in my Sam's index and the Tram 27-e isn't listed but there is a listing for a Tram TR 270/e in CB 10, which I don't have. I referred to the Glen operating manual and the radio isn't listed there either. If your Tram has sideband capabilities, then the Glen will not be suitable, the Glen just isn't stable enough for sideband and you'll be constantly re tuning it because of the drift. The Glen is great for AM use and will work on a sideband rig but will require constant tuning to follow the drift. There are two ways to hook up. You can remove the crystal that controls channels 1 through 4 and set the output of the Glen to that frequency, or you can remove the main control crystal and set the output of the Glen to that frequency. This would probably give you the most frequency range. You can put a two position switch so that in one switch position you go back to 40 channels (I'm assuming that your radio is 40 channels), or you can switch in the Glen with the other switch position. Use 75 ohm coax with the shield connected to the circuit board ground and the center wire of the coax to one of the connections of the crystal that you pulled. To determine which connection of the two crystals is best, use the one that makes the raidio receive the loudest. This is the best that I can do for you and I hope that it helps.

The Tram 27-E (Green Face) is 23 channels, AM only. It has seperate xmit xtals, & tunable rec. Mine gets 2 channels from each xtal. I think that it has 12 xtals. (HC-6 type)

I really gummed my last post good. I didn't know that the Tram 27-E was a tube type, so a buffer or some kind of amplifier has to be used to boost the output of the Glen so that It will drive a tube oscillator. Othe problems are there too, adding the Glen will give you more transmit frequencies but will do nothing for receive, a crystal has to be added to the receiver section making the tunable receive jump down or up 23 channels depending on where you want to go, actually you have a separate transmitter and receiver all in one cabinet. With the complexity of all of these modifications, I would leave the radio stock and pick up a good 40 channel AM rig an d just wire the Glen to that, saves you a lot of headaches. Just my opinon and good luck on the mods.

Look 007; everyone has had a deal go bad on them. A few things:
A) Are you even sure this is the person you were dealing with? With accusations like this flying around, you better be 100% sure.
B) This would be better resolved in a private message instead of filling the forums with it. Its a private matter between two people, so other people reading through the forums here shouldn't have to see it.
C) This is the same message you've posted here in the amplifier forum the other day. Don't keep repeating the same message in every forum you find the person posting in. We don't need to see it.

I had one. TR-27-e. We all talked on 26.955. one channel below one. I switched a crystal, but I forgot which one? The REC. tuner already went there, or replace the 31.5 xtal for a 31.4 xtal from a browning, & rec some low channels.
