I have an AC-4 for parts or rebuild. Good transformer, chassis,
covers,
and cords. Parts missing XMTG AGC BNC jack, and VOX Relay jack.
Chassis is
straight with some corrosion or discoloration. Pictures
available. All six
transformer windings were checked, nothing open. All six diodes
front to
back measurements were good. $25.00 plus shipping. Regards to the
group.

Ron,
Yes, there are two SSB nets devoted to Drake enthusiasts.
One is the Drake Technical Net. It meets Sunday afternoon at 2000
hours Zulu, which is 4 pm Eastern time this season of the year. It
meets on 7238.
The other one is the Drake and Antique Tube Gear Net. It used to
meet on 3865 but due to the foreign broadcast/noise we shifted the
frequency to 3868 for the past several years. That frequency has
since become occupied and the stations there may or may not refer
check-ins to the frequency being used since we don't know which
frequencies are free to use each week. Hence, there is no longer
any firm frequency to find the net. It does meet on Tuesday
evenings, at 8 pm Eastern time. It might be a little later
depending on how long it takes to find an available frequency.
Best to try tuning around +/- from 3868 and see where the net might
be operating.
Feel free to join the nets. All Drake enthusiasts are welcome.
And don't forget the Drake Forum at the Dayton Hamvention,
Saturday, 1030-1130, Room 2.
73,
Evan, K9SQG

Are most of you who have the B-line transceiving with the T-4XB or
R-4B or are you getting separate xtals for each? Also, do you know
of any good sources for crystals?
?
?
Thanks & 73's

Transceive operation is great for SSB. For CW, not so much.
One problem with the B Line and transceive is that it requires the
'Transceive Align' procedure be performed fairly regularly. Less
so if
the receiver and transmitter have the color coded crystals, AND
they are
both the same color. IF your rig is in a fairly well temperature
controlled environment, and is allowed to warm up before use, the B-
Line
works quite well. Especially nowadays when most are using
transceivers
with RIT capabilities. I would say that 'most' SSB operation today is
done in transceive, with of course the exception of split DX pileups.
CW is a different story, as there is no 'right' frequency for a CW
signal. Everyone likes a slightly different tone, and some even
like to
change the tone occasionally. So if you like 400 Hz and the other guy
likes 600 Hz, AND neither uses RIT, they'll chase each other up and
down
the band retuning for their preferred tone. Separate operation
works so
much better, it only takes a second to SPOT and then you are free to
move the receiver as you like.
The best crystal supplier is International Crystal Mfg, (405) 236-3741
or www.icmfg.com. The owner is a ham, they've been making crystals
'forever', and all you have to tell them is the band and model
radio you
want them for.

If I may add...Yes International has excellant service, seems they get
the crystal 'ON'
and they charge only $20.95 each...takes about 2 weeks to get them
after ordering.
I have got some used ones...paid $12.00 - $20.00 and they were OFF
frequency more than I like...FWIW.
So, new for me unless I know the guy and he says they are 'ON'
73,
Lee
