Hello everyone. I have a C line in marvellous condition and i've bought
a C-Drake frequency counter from www.aade.com. The counter read the
frequency by Inject cable ( INj cables connected trought the counter ).
Well, as finally I got my ham license i started to use my C line with
this counter
Hi Adrian:
I use the same readout on my B and A twins. I have the same problem on
the upper bands. The suppler was no help whatsoever and when I asked
about how to cable the device when using both Tx aqnd Rx, he replied
that he had no experience using them that way.
I have found and
Just an update on what I have found out. AADE does NOT have a display
that will work on the TR3/4/4C/etc., his will only work directly on the
twins. Neil admitted this to me in an e-mail.
He recommended the DD-103 from Electronic Specialty Products (which I
believe uses his DFD3 board).
This is my very first post to the Drake List, so I guess a little bio would
be appropriate. I was first licensed in winter 1974 (novice) and upgraded to
general in the fall of 1975. I bought a Drake TR-4C with money earned mowing
lawns and doing odd jobs as a high school aged young man. I still

I see I'm still blocked out of Drakelist. I get a 550 reject notice.
Guess I posted too often!
I doubt if the INJ line would even tolerate a Y cable and continue to
work in transceive. The preamp will boost the signal to the counter,
but does nothing for the transceive function.
You might consider the cables connecting the counter. Smaller cables
add lots of capacitance ans as such adds load. I have used the
torrestronics unit and another on both the b and c line twins with no
issues using 58 size coax. Good luck. The read out is certainly a
great addition
Adrian,
What kind of Y connector are you using at the jack on the R4C?
I've found the common 3 inch pig-tail Y adapter loads down the PTO on
10 and 15, giving odd readings.
Try using a compact one piece unit (a tight fit), but should solve
the problem. Also make sure the contacts on the
7 matches
