I understood she didn't use any TR switch. This is from 1962.

Hi Drakelist Gang ; Got a really sweet 2B receiver from a Drake List
contributor a couple of weeks ago. What a great little rig! Not much
to look at, never made a matching transmitter to go with it, but the
2BQ is a really nice addition to it's performance. The 2B's really can
dig out the weak one's and I am impressed! If I can catch a signal, I
can make adjustments to the rig and add some finishing touches with
the 2BQ peaking Q multipiler. So nice not to have that hollow/echo
sound of an IF filter or DSP (Timewave 599+). Its' sound is soft and
mellow or can be made piercingly sharp.
Anyway, enough of my ranting and raving...Does anyone recall the XYL
CW op who used her 2B for 60wpm CW QSO's? It was a Drake advertisement
in a '64 issue of QST. Drake instructed the reader to write to them to
find out about the TR switching arrangement she was using for flawless
QSK @ 60wpm with her 2B.. Accoring to the ad, she was asked by Drake's
engineering dept. to help them develop and test features and
performance improvements when they were designing the proto-types.
What was the TR switching arrangement she was using? Currently I am
running QSK CW with a Johnson TR switch and it is doing a FB job but
this is one of those "mysteries" that I would like to have the answer to.
