Whoops, I just realized you have a TR-4. So you don't have a separate
receiver. Sorry about that. But you could use the receiver in one of
those "current solid state radios".
You probably wouldn't need an antenna on it to hear your TR-4 with the
gain turned all the way down.

I have been using a homebrew tuning 'pecker' for years without
ruining the finals in my Drake's or my SB200 amp.
They allow tuning the finals without stressing them. The only
requirement is that you use a peak reading wattmeter.
Here is a link if you are interested.

Gang,
I been enjoying the Drake TR4C for a spell, then let it rest awhile
while using my "current" solid state radios.
I decided to return to Drakes and whoa!
I forget how to tune these babies. I had to re-learn
(has something to do with my grey hair I suppose).
I was wondering if you guys get nervous too during the tuning process
so as not to ruin the finals.
It just scares me sometimes ....
