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

Right and I luv it when someone uses "kc", thought I was the only one still
stuck on kc and mc! The new dial is a copy (think they made 25) of the old
R-4 dial and will work on the R-4, 4a and 4b. It will sure look nice to get
the old yellowed one off. It was kind of weird, the dial on the xmiter
looked like new but the receiver dial had slightly yellowed. The only thing
I can figure is that when they both went to drake in late 89/early 90 for an
overhaul/tune up it's possible that drake replaced the dial on the xmiter
and not the receiver. RM~
