Ah, yes. I had a Drake 2B a couple of years ago. What a wonderful receiver - great smooth tone. Mine was in very good condition and was working quite well, but as good as it was, it was a far cry from the K2 for filtering.
On strong CW signals, the 2B was quite nice to use. Turn RF gain down, engage the Q-multiplier and you have some very sweet sounding armchair copy. But if the signal was weak or the band was crowded, it wasn't nearly so pleasant. After my trip down memory lane, I sold the 2B. - Keith N1AS - - K3 711 - -----Original Message----- From: elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net [mailto:elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net] On Behalf Of Lee Buller The HQ-110 transported me back to an era where the best filter you had was between your ears. Even though it has a Q-Multiplier and the Selectivity can be shaped....it is a far cry from what we have today with filters and DSP. ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
