Im almost thinking it might be easier to buy a second R4B, populate it with the
extra xtals than fabricate an outboard device. On the other hand its also fun
to build something. But I gotta get the taxes done and all the honey do's first!

Hi Bob,
Have you seen the going prices for those FS4 units on eBay lately...? Talk
about sticker shock...!
Your idea of an outboard extra switch is a good one, & I've in fact been
running that very notion through my own mind here, for benefit of the R-4 that
I acquired over Christmas...
If worse comes to worst, Bob, & you decide to mortgage the house for an FS4,
please consider VE3CUI / VE3XZ to be a worthy recipient of any & all of your
surplus crystals...! I promise to give each & every one of them a good home
here, Hi Hi...

Subject: [drakelist] Adding more Xtals to the R4A/B/C.
I was wondering if anyone had built an add on xtal bank for their Drake
4A/B or C? I have extra xtals, and have fully populated the slots in my R4B &
R4C, so I thought of making up an add on "bank" to accomadate the additonal
xtals I have. Yea, I kown I could use an FS4, but finding a home for some of
these misc xtals would be nice.
I was hoping someone had done this and had a parts list that I could use.
Any thoughts?
