Drakers,

I too have the same problem and was going to do what Garey suggests, but had other "stuff" pop up (weddings, health, family, and PSK-31 bug bite),
so have not tried anything yet.

Waiting with baited breath to what Joe finds. I made my own cables and thery are the same total capacitance spec'ed by Drake (shorter) using the pF/foot data.

Thanks Joe and others.

Jim

When I tune up using the T-4XB PTO on 40 meters, I'm getting about 60 watts maximum. When I tune up using the R-4A PTO the power output is 95+ watts maximum. There's also about a 10 db difference in receive between the two units, the R-4A being the stronger receive of the two. I am using original Drake interconnect cables between the two units. I'd expect some difference between them, but this seems
excessive. Any thoughts?

Curt,
Thanks for the answer. I'm using the cable with metal tag for the injection. I haven't tried tuning up the T-4XB without it plugged in -- I'll give it a try an see what gives. If there's no difference, that would eliminate the
cable as the problem.
