Eddy, Welcome. This is a really great bunch. Drake radios and Collins were my dream rigs as a kid. Now that I am 57, I finally have the radios I lusted after as a kid. I am sitting here as I type listening to the contesters on 40M on my C line. What fun!

I've been giving some serious thought of late here to do what I probably should have done some 24 years ago, specifically, buy a good set of Drake Twins. Back in '83, I elected to retire my venerable old Heathkit SB-400 / Hallicrafters S-77A combo, in favour of the latest & greatest from the Far East... I've rued that day every time something major goes out with this flashy digital winking & blinking contraption. Maybe I'll learn enough here to know which version of the "R4" series of receiver I should have, & the subtleties between all of the different variants thereof...I hope so, anyway, & look forward to the day that I might have some Twins of my own here to use, enjoy, and actually REPAIR myself, as the need may arise... ~73!~ Eddy VE3CUI - VE3XZ
