Neil,
I've plugged in a lot of "stray" and odd frequency crystals and they have all
worked. That said, the correct "version" of crystal will provide much better
band to band calibration. The frequency calculation as to where you are tuned
is much easier too.

Most any HC-6/U crystal will 'work' in the Drakes. The oscillation may or may not be close to the
marked frequency, depending upon the specifications the crystal was originally designed for, and
it's age. But most will be within 5 - 10 khz, unless they are fifth overtone or some other weird cu
Any one know what kind of plastic the Drake A & B line dials are make
of???
Maybe it's ABS...since that was used a lot back then?
I'm working on something here that may be of great help to many DFrake
owners.

Finally got the switch box apart. Have to replace all the external
screws. even with penetrating oil I was only able to remove one without
snapping the head off, or having to grind them off, just way too rusty.
The motor frame also is a little rusty, apparently the plastic bag was
not as wat
I've found that any antenna, tower, rotor, etc. device used outdoors can
benefit from the use of stainless steel hardware, nylon insert locknuts as
appropriate. You can buy it online at a price, including shipping, that is
less than what you can buy locally for standard, plated hardware.

Always use lock washers under those nylon insert nuts. I have seen many
come loose over the years.

Garey,
The relay came in from Mouser and I made the mod today. (The bad one was the
Varley) The T4XC is working fine. Thank you for the assistance.

This is a bit off topic, but how can two receiving antennas be used to reduce
fading?

Look up "diversity reception"

Yes. Diversity reception is a well known technique, but you need a radio
so-configured or a separate box to process the inputs from the two
antennas. The antennas must be physically separated from each other
sufficiently that a fade on one would not necessarily occur in the other at
the same time
Probably need two antennas, two receivers and a multiplexer that can switch
between either receiver as the signal on each antenna fades in and out. It
was called "Diversity Reception" and was used for commercial RRTY (among
others uses)in order to maintain a constant signal feed to the RTTY
machine
