If you see an RCA connector on an antenna input, you can _probably_
assume
it wants to see a high-impedance longwire antenna. You may get better
results from a 50 ohm source with some matching. Then again, maybe not.

Never saw this before. Drake, Collins and Heathkit all used the RCA phono
socket for low impedance antennas. The recievers that are 600 Ohms or so
used a terminal strip. There may be exceptions, but that's what they are-
exceptions.

It appears the unit may have trouble as a receiver.

According to the record on BAMA an R4-C is a "remote VFO."

NOPE, typo at BAMA (someone left out a 'V').

The Drake RV-4C is the external VFO; the Drake R-4C is the HF receiver.
