Tom , Fear not, you are not alone in the World! I use the R-4 (Serial # 921) with a T4-Reciter (Serial #173). Basically this combination is a "Tranceiver" b/c the Reciter does not have a VFO and is controlled by the R-4. I receive excellent reports on the quality of the transmission and like all of the R-4s, great listening and control of the received signal.

Hi Hi Seriously, I know that's NOT the case, but it sure does seem by times that the original R-4 is the "poor cousin" of the whole family of Drake "R" series of receivers... Personally, I like my R-4, and I like it a lot. Are there any others out there still in use...? I have one. Given to me by my grandfather (ex-WA8PYR, WD4ANZ, now SK) along with an original T-4X, R-4 and AC-4 when I got my ticket in 1980. He was the first owner; I'm the second. Great radios....
