- Hi all Very interesting articles. In this season here in JA many of us will experience these IMD problems around 1820kHz. So does anybody have a comment how about 75S3 or use on 160M? I suppose that

- I'm thinking of supplementing my current TopBand receive capability (FT1000MP) by bringing an R4-C or 75A4 into the op position as an additional 160M receiver. I would appreciate hearing from anyone

- Hi, Barry, Surprisingly, the 25-year old Drake R-4C is reportedly the best receiver from a survey I took on the Web a couple of years ago. But not the stock R-4C -- you want one that has the Sherwood

- I used the R4C with Sherwood mods (+ some others) for 25 years, and just very recently upgraded to a FT-1000D. After doing extensive comparisons, I can say that neither receiver is better than the ot

- I can't comment on the A4's. The A4's were certainly good receivers in their days, but I don't have one to measure against new gear. 73, Tom W8JI w8ji@contesting.com -- FAQ on WWW: http://www.contest

- Hi Riki, I wouldn't expect you to notice much difference, unless you had one or more very strong signals close to the operating frequency. The R4C is generally a little better than most receivers on

- I'm just wondering if you ops with the A4's and R4C's are using these in conjunction with your new technology rigs by just remote muting the old receiver? If so isn't it kind of difficult to spot the

- It's easy to spot the desired operating frequency when the R4C isn't completely muted. A series resistance (adjustable pot) placed in the mute line would do the trick. Peter WW2Y -- FAQ on WWW: http:
