Thanks for responding, Pete! I am glad to hear that your receiver
project is still going ahead, and I'm looking forward to it coming on
the market.
I'm also glad that I learned of your interest in the Drake frequency
synthesizer, as I've just aquired an R4B and don't know how difficult
it is yet to find SWL band crystals.


I'm trying to get an R-4B xtaled up for SW also. Jan is quite a bit cheaper
than International but still $17.95 ea. but said they could cut any that I
wanted. I've picked up a few used ones but they are far and few between. I
also found a fellow who had reproduced the R-4 dials and the last I knew he
had two left after I purchased mine ($20). I haven't installed it yet but it
looks great and is like the original R-4, it has markers every 5Khz instead
of the 25Khz markings on the B. If you are interested in the dial I'll see
if I can still come up with his telephone number. RM~


The R4B of course has 1 kc markers on the skirt of the tuning knob.
