Gene, I have thought about it, but not gotten there yet. Here are some ideas.
I was going to put a 4 ohm resistor in series to the switch, and a 4 ohm across the switch. That would give the audio amp an 8 ohm resistance if the switch is off and you turn on the radio by mistake. So now each radio has at least 8 ohm, instead of an open to work into. While the radio is switched into the speaker, it would work into something like a 6 ohm resistnace/impedance. It will obviously reduce the audio output that you hear. I was thinking that this would be my approach as I seem to remember hearing about blowing an audio tube with switching from/to open/load. Not sure that it is a problem with Drakes or not. Looking for others to comment on my "garage engineering" ideas. 73, Ron -- ============================================================ Amateur Radio Station: WD8SBB - Ron and KB8NRP - Joann ============================================================ On Wed, 9 Jul 2003 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Hello, > I have an R-4C and R-4B that I would like to use with a single MS-4 > speaker.
