Hi Eric: Your web site is excellent. It brought a lot of memories. My first rig was the Drake R4-B and the 2-NT. Later when I passed the General, I replaced the 2-NT with the T4X-B. I still have them all, but the 2-NT is in a box in my storage room. I, too, never found a suitable VFO for it, but God if we only new about VXO's in that day !! HI I was a high school sophomore in 1971 with my Novice ticket - WN4YDL - living in Memphis. I now also have built the Elecraft line - K2/100, K1, and KX1. I just may have to try this 'VFO' out ! I certainly need to get the Tarn-X out and start cleaning up these great old rigs. I saw where an outfit called Misty Hollow is developing DDS gear for the transceivers of the day, but I don't know if they have anything going back to the separates.
73 and Merry Christmas, Jamie WB4YDL -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of EricJ Sent: Friday, December 23, 2005 12:17 PM To: 'Elecraft' Subject: RE: [Elecraft] SKN rigs On STRAIGHT KEY Night, I'll be using the Drake 2-B, 2-C and 2-NT, not surprisingly with a Speed-X STRAIGHT KEY. The VFO for my 50 dollar Drake transmitter is an Elecraft K2 into a DL-1 for about 2 vrms into the FT-243 crystal socket. My apologies to boatanchor enthusiasts everywhere. I'm still looking for a real VFO. Pictures at: http://www.ke6us.com/boatanchors.htm Included is a picture of a STRAIGHT KEY for those who seem confused about the concept of STRAIGHT KEY Night.
