Hi Erick
when you mentioned the Drake reciever I thought of the first 2 meter rig I
had. it was a drake tr22c. it looked like a CB radio with a mike on a
coiled wire. the case had a pouch for the mike when you were carying it.
That radio was crystal controled or as I think they used to call them rock
bottomed bound or some thing like that. so when you went to a different
city which might have different repeaters you had to get new crystals.
