I came into this as computers were making a mark on the electronic industry and taking away the appeal of ham radio so I may have this a little wrong.
I recall being told that Collins radio equipment was manufactured for the government at a time when money was flowing easy. Drake on the other hand did manufacture items for the government, but their radios were primarily for the ham radio consumer market. If true, then John's statements ring very clearly. Was I told wrong? 73, Ron WD8SBB --- On Wed, 6/15/11, john <joh...@nc.rr.com> wrote: From: john <joh...@nc.rr.com> Subject: Re: [Drakelist] Collins and Drake Compared To: k4...@mindspring.com, drakelist@zerobeat.net Date: Wednesday, June 15, 2011, 5:46 PM Collins made extraordinary radios with extraordinary parts Drake made extraordinary radios with quite ordinary parts.
