Title: Adding 160 meter coverage to Drake 2A/2B Post by: WQ9E on August 13, 2013, 05:21:35 PM While browsing my Drake files for info about the Drake 2LF (low frequency converter for the 2A/2B receivers) I came across the Drake factory note for adding 160 meter coverage without using the 2LF. It only requires 3 capacitors and a crystal and appears very simple to implement. The Drake bulletin says it is only applicable to those receivers (presumably the 2A) with a serial number of 1,000 or higher.
I currently have a 2LF in my 2B but I may make this mod to my 2A so it will cover 160.

I usually use the 2B on CW with my novice DX-60 for SKN. Great CW receiver but a bit narrow for AM.

But now +\- 3kc is about my limit. All my older kludge receivers sound alike. ;D Title: Re: Adding 160 meter coverage to Drake 2A/2B Post by: W3GMS on August 14, 2013, 08:38:22 AM I used to think that too Joe.
