I agree with Don. I have a the spray, but seldom use it except to wet card
stock for relays. I typically use the needle dropper bottle of the D100L-25C
which can be seen:

As far a using it on anything other than a metal conductor, don't. That is not
Hi Guys,
I've been on 160- and 40-meters here with the Drake Twins, passing the time in
casual QSOs, pending the termination of the annual ...grass harvest(!) here
that will allow me to unroll my ground radials atop the lawn for use in my
topband array...
The Drakes make for a very sweet
Eddy,
You will love the Drake line for CW. Just make sure that
the Tx and Rx are tracking. There is an alignment
procedure in the manual (C-56?).

Hi Gene,
I understand from what Garey said sometime earlier that the CW offset
frequency between the receiver transmuitter on CW is equal to (roughly)
the frequency of the sidetone generated by the T-4X---i.e. 800- 900-Hz.
That being the case, do you listen for callers on LSB, or USB with the
Per the manual my Xmtr gain setting is at about 8-8:30. But I have no meter
movement when I transmit SSB. If I increase the setting to 12:00 I get
deflection while transmitting.
So How should I set my Xmtr gain control?
Thanks,

Hi Eddy
They really are a nice set up, and the B's have some of the best
recovered audio.
I've got A and C lines also, but enjoy the B the best

I have the B line I will be selling at the Hawkins Tx
hamfest on OCT 23 Saturday. Asking $425.00 for the B line plus the AC 4 and speaker. Everything works and I have the manuals. Hawkins is in East Tx near Tyler.Dennis

Hi Eddy:
You will notice that all of the end points of the passbands line up on
LSB so that is the setting for CW. That way, you never have to adjust
the passband variable when changing from wide to narrow. I use the 2.4K
setting for scanning then reduce to 1.2 or narrower for crowded
The plate meter will only kick to 100-150ma on voice peaks when set
properly. Adjust the mic gain so that is what you have..depending on
the mic you use, 12 oClock might be fine. Don't try to get it to peak
up to the loaded value. the dynamics of the meter movement prevent it
from

I use the R-4B and T-4XB in SEPARATE mode on CW. The SPOT position
allows you to tune the transmitter to the receiver frequency, just like
in the old days. Personally, I don't MUTE the receiver and listen to my
own signal while transmitting. It's a little loud, but the AVC does a
Well my mic is an Electrovoice 605 so there is no adjustment there. I have
no scope and don't foresee getting one. I'm not looking for peak.
All I know is that if I decrease my xmtr gain.. it decreases my output
power. So I'm guessing ... being a total new-be, that if I increase the xmtr
gain

Depending upon your mic and voice characteristics, '8 - 8:30' is VERY
low. Most mics need more like 10 - 10:30 GAIN settings. IF your mic
has in internal preamp, such as the D-104 with preamp in the base, set
the XMTR GAIN to about 10:00 and then increase the mic's gain control
Hello Gang
Just picked up a T4X and R4, got them both up and running, however, I am having
problem getting the full output wattage on LSB, USB is workin great. Any advice
would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

While working on my 2B totday, had an opportunity to use the 2B/2BQ CDs
purchased awhile ago from you. The receiver had started a severe hum when
powered on, so decided it was time to replace the caps before something worse
happened. The kit from Hayseed Hamfest included a small 10uf cap
Perfect condition, no blown caps, rust, and just the lightest of copper

Fellow Drake enthusiasts,
In the weeks ahead I'm going to be offering for sale some Drake equipment and

Fellow Drake Enthusiats,
If you recall the problems I had with SP and AE a few months ago, I would
like to provide an update.
In terms of the SP company, initially they only refunded the amount of the
returned parts. These were parts that were sent to me in error; they selected
