Hmm, so the non-CW models have a 2.4KC wide bandpass?  I run my R-4B on
the .4 position which seems to be around 1KC wide which is comfortable for
me but 2.4KC would be a little wide.

Yep, guess i'll do that instead.  I was just looking for a way to avoid
the patch cables and go with one box (and also to enjoy another new Drake
in the shack!).  I run at MOST 65W drive to the L4 so the 250W PEP input
is sorta wasted.


One last question...

Is it normal for the T-4XB to transmit 1125Hz from the R-4B VFO frequency
when the T-4XB transceive is in RCVR mode?  I would far prefer to move it
down to around 600 or 700 Hz as I don't care for the higher pitched CW
notes.  When I use the R-4B as master and T-4XB transceive RCVR mode the
CW note is way up high.  I would rather have it at 400hz than 1125! hi
