Kevin - I'd say that style two is the newer one. When Drake went from the A- to the B-Line Twins, the B's also have the skirted dial. 73, Steve Wedge, W1ES/4 Live free or die: Death is not the worst of evils. John Stark. All my computers have my signature with various pearls of wisdom

Ferris - 1. Normal 2. This adjustment is to compensate for the capacitance of the IF cable. This is the coaxial part of the leads. Be sure the 2-BQ is OFF and in NOTCH position. If you have replaced the IF cable it may be the wrong type or too long or short. If original it should peak,

Garey, Thanks for the explaination! I have never heard this double hump when tuning the calibrator signal in any of my Drakes (TR-3, TR-4, 4A-line twins). I assume the null that you describe tuning through is the BFO frequency, between the two filter passbands. But it would seem to me that

Darryl - That's what I get for being in a hurry. Seems to be happening more often these days! :-) You are correct, you can only do one filter at a time. You can use the dial skirt as a reference, i.e., turn on the CAL, and tune to zero beat. Set the dial skirt to 0. THEN tune through
