Yes...for sure..
In all lists there are times when a subject comes up that a certain
person(s) are not intereseted in...it's normal.
I learn from all aspects of things...even if I have a different
approach.
Thanks to ALL the great talent here...
You make the Drake experience a more pleasant journey!

This is a big enough tent for all views on Drake Radios. The expertise
of this group is amazing. Let’s not dilute a really good resource.

I would prefer that everyone stay here with this list, and just delete
things you're not interested in or offended by.
Multiple groups would mean a loss of information from folks who know
about the rigs in various configurations. Fragmenting the group into
separatist groups will just dilute the overall Drake community.

If anyone wants to discuss this off this reflector, you can reach me
at: [email protected] It would probably be best to do it this way
and not tie up this reflector for those having no interest in my idea.

Subject: Re: [Drakelist] Sherwood Mods
This may be true but I can tell you I purchased a lot of new Drake gear
from Drake dealers and when I ever talked to the factory regarding
them, without naming names, it was expressed very clearly each and
every time their/his disfavor of those mods. I happen to agree with
those remarks. I would never consider them. In fact, I am thinking of
starting a new Drake reflector or wish someone else would open one
where it would be forbidden to discuss foreign mods except for those
really needed because of lack of old parts. I personally consider the
mods offensive and consider a radio with these mods no longer a Drake
product.
I know not everyone agrees with me, but I know some may agree with me.
Don’t get me wrong. If you own a radio, I believe you can do anything
you want with it and you can believe anything you want about your mods.
I just don’t agree with this philosophy at all. I am not trying to
start a war here or call someone stupid for altering his Drake gear. I
am not telling you you are nuts for doing this but I would consider
myself foolish for installing them in my Drake radios. Those are my
thoughts. If I was going to buy a radio with them, I would discount the
value before making an offer. If my offer would be accepted, I would
remove the mods and if they were too extensive, I’d refuse to buy the
radio in the first place. Again, these are my feelings and I don’t
expect someone else with other ideas to have to conform to my
standards. Just do what you want to do. I also enjoy using my
unmodified C lines more then my B line. Again, I know some don’t agree
with this. Thaty’s OK with me. I just know my thoughts do not agree
with a lot of things I read on here.
There is a British Paraset Group which is really radical, even for me.
You are not expected to join unless you agree to only use the built in
hand key rather then using an external hand key, bug, or paddle with
memory. You also are expected to only use a long wire as operatives
used with this transceiver during WW2. Now these are really extreme
rules! I could not live up to them so declined membership.
But getting back to a real Drake reflector for unmodified Drakes for
guys wanting the experience of using a Drake rig as it was offered by
Drake without discussion of major mods, is there any interest in a
group for guys wanting to discuss their unmodified radios and want to
keep them that way? Or am I just a peculiarity among Drake owners?
(Easy to set up on Yahoo. I’m really interested in hearing from guys
thinking as I do rather then from those saying they would not join a
group as I described. Anyone not liking the idea needs not join the new
group. Simple enough). I have a lot on my plate and would prefer
someone else open such a group, but I’d be willing to do it if nobody
else would step up to the plate. If I’m the only guy feeling this way,
the idea can just then die and I’ll just keep using my delete key .
Again, this is not intended to flame anyone.
Lee, w0vt
