Drake Reflector/C-Line Problem
 
I can't recall the xtals used but if they are the sme freq., swap them
first.

For some time now, I have subscribed to the Collins and Heath reflectors

out of
Tempe, AZ. Is there a similar reflector for Drake?. Or are there any Drake
gurus around who could advise me on a problem with my C twins? They work

great
on all bands except 160. If I use the TX VFO, a full 120 watts out on 160,

but
weaker receive. If I use the RX VFO, great receive, but only 50 watts out

on
TX. So somewhere, between the RX and TX, there's a problem. Any thoughts

much
appreciated. Thanks to all for reading. 73.

Thanks, Mark. I will look at the cable again. It's the original, but with a new
RCA plug on one end. That could be it. Also will try the alignment route.
