Your email reminded me that at one time, when I had that rig, I 
bought some brand of amp that put out 25 watts on 2 from the 
Drake.  I ran that through a bunch of coax to an eleven element 
beam on top of my tower.  Jim WA6EKS

Jim,

At one time, my TR-22C was my main 2-meter station.  I built a 
power supply
and mounted the mobile bracket for the rig on top of it.  A 
friend of mine
put a DIN plug where the headphone jack should be, and I ran a 
GLB
synthesizer with that radio.  I drove the Drake 10-watt 
amplifier, and that
combination served me very well for quite a while.

Steve

 Oh yah, the good old Drake TR22c.  That was my first piece of 
new
 gear.  I found an old fiberglass scuba tank holder, that hobby 
is
 another story, and made a shoulder mount antenna with a quarter
 wave piano wire antenna for the Tr22c.  Jim WA6EKS

 My first gear was a used Drake TR22 on two meters.  My first hf
 equipment
 was a borrowed HW8 that I used with a dipole mounted in the
 attic.  I then
 graduated to an HW101 with audible tuning indicator across the
 meter output.
