tr4.jpg (26911 bytes)Drake TR4 transceiver.

I used one in 1969 that belonged to the Delta Radio Club of Whitehaven, Tennessee.  More recently, I received on in trade from AE4TC and subsequently traded it off to N5YX.  He thought it was broken, but the problem turned out to be dirty switch contacts that were keeping the carrier oscillator from running.

Wade Mckay WA4TFI (SK) loaned me his 2B for a while when I was first licensed as a General class ham.  I found another a few years ago at a hamfest.   This is one good sounding receiver.  The narrow final IF and passband tuning really gives great control over the reception.  The Q multiplier adds excellent additional selectivity.
