Subject: Re: [TenTec] My New Eagle vs. my old Drake
I have my Drake B-twins that I got in high school 40 years ago sitting
on my
operating table right next to my Orion, and the difference is not so
much in
what one can hear that the other can't. It's like the difference in
listening to
good music that you grew up with on an LP(record) vs a compact disc.
One sounds
really good but the other brings back memories! They each have their
place in my
enjoyment of the hobby.

Have you seen how the Drake R-4C with all Sherwood mods compares to
todays mega function rx's???
Holds up pretty good!
I have done A/B tests with my OII and Sherwood R-4C. Can't hear
anything on the OII that the Drake can't hear!
(I'm sure there couild be a situation where that's not true)
But, of course all those neat feature on the OII are fun, and make it
great in a contest.

Just a another blast from the past.
Looking over my Drake R-4C sensitivity at .25uV across the ham bands
and
then the Eagle at .5uV and my heart glows like the R-4C cool blue
dial.
That being said, please so not ask me about how the Drake compares
with
the
stabilility of .5ppm in the Eagle because the hash marks on my Drake
dial
just can't go there! :>)
How can Drakes be compared to Eagles anyay? One paddles and the other
soars.
