Re: [Drakelist] R4C Speaker Output
- Original Message - From: Bill Becky wmarv...@charter.net To: drakelist@zerobeat.net Sent: Sunday, August 19, 2012 8:35 PM Subject: [Drakelist] R4C Speaker Output Hi Group On the R4C speaker output which is 3.2 ohms. Can this audio be attached to a computer's microphone jack (typically 50K) using a resistor pad to prevent overload?? 73 Bill KB9IV Short answer is yes. I would make a simple pad with a 4 ohm resistor across the output and a high value resistor or pot feeding the computer line. The resistor across the output will insure the amplifier is seeing something like the right load which will give best frequency responce and minimum distortion. OTOH, the headphone jack is fed from the same place as the speaker jack and will feed phones of almost any impedance so its probably not very critical. If your computer has a line input you might try that as well. -- Richard Knoppow Los Angeles WB6KBL dickb...@ix.netcom.com ___ Drakelist mailing list Drakelist@zerobeat.net http://mailman.zerobeat.net/mailman/listinfo/drakelist

Apparently they are moving, and leaving behind some old equipment. http://www.rldrake.com/news-20120814.php 73, Bob WW3QB From: ve...@cogeco.ca ve...@cogeco.ca To: drakelist@zerobeat.net Sent: Monday, August 20, 2012 7:42 PM Subject: [Drakelist] is Drake closing? http://www.thompsonauctioneers.com/R-L-Drake-Holdings-LLC-a186041.php ___ Drakelist mailing list Drakelist@zerobeat.net http://mailman.zerobeat.net/mailman/listinfo/drakelist___ Drakelist mailing list Drakelist@zerobeat.net http://mailman.zerobeat.net/mailman/listinfo/drakelist

The Drake web site gives a new address in Miamisburg. When you Google the address, a 7500 sq.ft. office building comes up. Is there more to this than just moving?? VE3ES ___ Drakelist mailing list Drakelist@zerobeat.net http://mailman.zerobeat.net/mailman/listinfo/drakelist
Re: [Drakelist] is Drake closing?
With leaving the manufacturing equipment behind, perhaps they are off-shoring their manufacturing.

It's a double-edged sword at play here: move the jobs off-shore because it's supposedly too costly to manufacture things here in the ol' ...arsenal of democracy (remember that quaint phrase...?) anymore---and then wonder why the unemployed masses in North America can't afford to buy your now over-priced goods... Phase II of globalization will occur when all these same companies that have abandoned the USA Canada are suddenly faced with a nasty little something called nationalization in their new-found off-shore havens. And that is surely just a matter of time, will happen, when the homegrown masters of these new centres of manufacturing have acquired all of the proprietary information that they might need to claim everything on their soil as being their own, and no longer need to operate under the shackles of a foreign-owned corporation. It won't just be laid-off working stiffs crying foul then...and government bail-out money will have run dry by that time, too. ~73~ de Eddy VE3CUI - VE3XZ ___ Drakelist mailing list Drakelist@zerobeat.net http://mailman.zerobeat.net/mailman/listinfo/drakelist
Re: [Drakelist] is Drake closing?
I'm sorry but who said that? Who said Drake was moving manufacturing offshore? Nothing in the previous messages said they were moving offshore or lost their moral compass. I believe previous messages indicated this IS a local move and KEEPING the existing numbers. de WA6HYQ From: drakelist-boun...@zerobeat.net on behalf of Charles Ring Sent: Monday, August 20, 2012 5:55:45 PM To: Robert Ladden Cc: drakelist@zerobeat.net Subject: Re: [Drakelist] is Drake closing?

Re: [Drakelist] is Drake closing?
Hello, Drake hasn't been Drake as you guys knew Drake for a long time. The company was mainly producing video and cable head end products, see their web-site. Amateur radio manufacturing and or service was history, long gone, even with the production of the R-8 series receivers, SW-8 etc. The company was sold, sold again, and recently sold again to Blonder-Tongue another video and cable product manufacture, This company was Drakes largest competitor and is located in New Jersey, see their web-site. Most of the Drake employees were slowly let go, from the top down, all except for a few from sales, engineering and one guy from service. These people will move to Springboro Pike, there will be NO manufacturing at this building, save for what engineering builds, manufacturing will be done in New Jersey or . The Drake name will be used on some products built by Blonder-Tongue as the name Drake is well known in the video and cable head-end market. This is ONLY what I have heard !!! 73, Bill From: John Hudson john.hud...@calema.ca.gov To: Charles Ring w...@roadrunner.com; Robert Ladden rmlad...@yahoo.com Cc: drakelist@zerobeat.net drakelist@zerobeat.net Sent: Monday, August 20, 2012 9:04 PM Subject: Re: [Drakelist] is Drake closing?

I read that R.L Drake, Inc was purchased by another company about a year ago. That company may well be simply consolidating operations. Doug/WA1TUT ___ Drakelist mailing list Drakelist@zerobeat.net http://mailman.zerobeat.net/mailman/listinfo/drakelist
