Drake R4-C antenna connector question
Hi all, my name is Ted (KQ4MZ) and I just came into posession of a
Drake R4-C receiver which I intend to build a Drake station from. For now I just plan to use this as an extra receiver. My question is how can I connect a coax to the antenna jack on the back of the receiver? I have never owned any older tube gear aside from old swl radios and have never seen a phono plug type jack for an antenna. Can I solder the center conductor of the coax to the pin on a male phono plug and the braid to the body of the plug? Any help would be most appreciated. I want to be able to connect the Drake into an antenna switch that I have all my other rigs connected to . Thanks again for any and all thoughts. Ted---KQ4MZ |
