Hi Bob, Have you seen the going prices for those FS4 units on eBay lately...? Talk about sticker shock...!
Your idea of an outboard extra switch is a good one, & I've in fact been running that very notion through my own mind here, for benefit of the R-4 that I acquired over Christmas... If worse comes to worst, Bob, & you decide to mortgage the house for an FS4, please consider VE3CUI / VE3XZ to be a worthy recipient of any & all of your surplus crystals...! I promise to give each & every one of them a good home here, Hi Hi... ~73~ Eddy VE3CUI - VE3XZ ***************************************************** ----- Original Message ----- From: Robert Look To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, February 14, 2008 6:11 PM Subject: [drakelist] Adding more Xtals to the R4A/B/C. I was wondering if anyone had built an add on xtal bank for their Drake 4A/B or C? I have extra xtals, and have fully populated the slots in my R4B & R4C, so I thought of making up an add on "bank" to accomadate the additonal xtals I have. Yea, I kown I could use an FS4, but finding a home for some of these misc xtals would be nice. I was hoping someone had done this and had a parts list that I could use. Any thoughts? Bob W8JHA
