The 2-B Passband tuner has three L/C bandwidths available.

0.5 kHz at -6 dB // 2.75 kHz at -60 dB
2.1 kHz at -6 dB // 7.50 kHz at -60 dB
3.6 kHz at -6 dB // 10.5 kHz at -60 dB


The R-4/A/B all have four L/C bandwidths.

0.4 kHz at -6 dB // 2.6 kHz at -60 dB
1.2 kHz at -6 dB // 4.8 kHz at -60 dB
2.4 kHz at -6 dB // 8.2 kHz at -60 dB
4.8 kHz at -6 dB // 20 kHz at -60 dB


The R-4C has two crystal bandwidths standard.

2.4 kHz at -6 dB // 4.2 kHz at -60 dB
8 kHz at -6 dB // 28 kHz at -60 dB (Roofing Filter)

Optional filters were available.

250 Hz at -6 dB // 600 Hz at -60 dB
500 Hz at -6 dB //  1000 Hz at -60 dB
1.5 kHz at -6 dB // 3 kHz at -60 dB

Optional filters in AM Mode ONLY.

4 kHz at -6 dB // 7.5 kHz at -60 dB
6 kHz at -6 dB // 10 kHz at -60 dB

The 2-BQ Q Multiplier is a VERY effective accessory for the 2-B. It offers a variable bandwidth, tunable IF peaking filter for CW or a tunable IF notch filter. The Heath Q Multipliers work just about the same, since the circuit is almost identical. The QF-1 requires power (available from the 2-B Accy Jack).

How do the 2B selectivity curves compare with the R4B curves? I'm new to Drake equipment and thought that the 4 series used crystal filters. A thread here now tells me that this is not the case. Also, how well do the 2B receivers work with Q multipliers like the 2BQ and the Heathkit series? I use my 2B with a Gonset GSB-100 exciter, probably heresy on this list, but they work well together on both CW and SSB from my limited experience.
