"Howard Traxler" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> made an utterance to the drakelist gang ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Hi again all. Here's a question that will require, probably a subjective answer:
For about 30 years, I used an R-4A and loved it. I now aquired an R-4C--without any of those plug-in filters. I don't like it much at all. So I got another R-4A and was hoping to tweak it up to be like the one I used to have. Question: Why did I not need those filters in the R-4A and will I like the R-4C more if I get the filters for it? Which receiver should I put my effort into? I like to work both SSB and CW. Thoughts anyone? Thank you much. 73, DE Howard, WA9RYF ----- Original Message ----- From: "Doug Smith" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, November 29, 2007 7:31 PM Subject: [drakelist] T-4XC output on 160 Meters fades... : : Doug Smith <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> made an utterance to the drakelist gang : ---------------------------------------------------------------------- : Here's an odd one.. : : I just flipped on the rig and tuned up on 160.
