Against my better judgment to comment on the Sherwood mods, I guess this time I can’t help myself
HI HI. This subject is just about as opinionated as the fan sucks in, blows out debate. First I am
not a serious contester, just a tinkerer, casual SSB /AM operator and not so serious DX chaser.
Short of first IF filter replacements, I am personally not in favor of modifying the the R-4C.
Even overlooking the fact that it is no longer as Drake designed it, good or bad, I prefer to keep
them stock, just my opinion. I love them for what they are. The modifications were first published
in Ham Radio and 73 magazines years ago. I have tried most of them, but later returned the R-4C
back to stock. Probably the best reason I see against the mods, unless you have money to burn,
they are very expensive. I personally would prefer the keep the Drakes stock and purchase a newer
radio. Again I realize everyone is different, everyone has an opinion. Those that spent big bucks
to “ upgrade “ their R-4C’s have a need to feel warm and fuzzy about the expense I suppose, and
maybe they see a real improvement. I will just keep my non Blue LED lighted, spotted chassis, non
$100 Hartzel paint job, non modded C-lines as they are ...
73, Gary
