Alan Wolke's Drake 2-B (video)
Alan's video inspired me to do a little work with my Drake 2-B. Nothing major -- I was just making sure that the passband knob is in the right setting. I've complained that the Drake 2-B doesn't sound great on AM. I recently noticed that my BITX40 DIGI-TIA sounds surprisingly good with AM signals -- I just treat them as SSB signals and zero-beat the carrier with my Si5351 VFO. I wanted to try doing the same thing with the 2-B, and then make some comparisons. I only heard a few AM signals this morning, so I will try again later today and will report results here.
