Hi Gene, I understand from what Garey said sometime earlier that the CW offset frequency between the receiver & transmuitter on CW is equal to (roughly) the frequency of the sidetone generated by the T-4X---i.e. 800- 900-Hz.
That being the case, do you listen for callers on LSB, or USB with the receiver in transceive mode...? And has anyone ever come up with an add-on RIT circuit for the R-4 to compensate for any & all potential "frequency chasing" whilst in transceive...? ~73~ de Eddy VE3CUI - VE3XZ ********************************** ----- Original Message ----- From: "Eugene Balinski" <[email protected]> To: "Edward Swynar" <[email protected]>; <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, October 17, 2010 9:58 AM Subject: Re: [Drakelist] Drake Twins > Eddy, > > You will love the Drake line for CW.
