should be used for accessory coverage. Selected
crystals for accessory coverage with the R-4C will
be supplied by the R. L. Drake Company at a nom-
inal cost. Contact Customer Service Department at
the address given in paragraph 5-l for price and
delivery information.
To determine the correct
crystal frequency for any additional range, see
table 2-l which shows the required crystal frequen-
cy and the proper BAND switch setting for the
R-4C for the frequency spectrum from 1.5 to 30
MHz, except for the 5.0 to 6.0 MHz range. How-
ever, if you are going to transceive with the Drake
T-4,
T-4B,
T-4C,
T-4X,
T-4XB,
or
T-4XC,
the crystal selection table in the transmitter manual
should be followed in selecting accessory crystals.
Remove the screws holding the shield/cover over
the 15 accessory crystal sockets on the rear panel.
Install the desired crystals and replace the cover
and its mounting screws.
2-15. NOISE BLANKER.
To install the optional 4-NB Noise Blanker, re-
move the top row of three screws on each side of
the R-4C. Remove the cabinet top. Remove the
jumper plug from the noise blanker socket which is
located toward the rear of the receiver, on top of
the chassis. Retain the jumper plug so that it may
be used if the 4-NB should ever require service.
The 4-NB mounts on the four plastic stand-offs
which are on the metal shields on either side of the
PTO. Align the plastic stand-offs with the four
holes in the 4-NB circuit board with the 4-NB
cable toward the rear of the R-4C. Carefully push
the 4-NB onto the stand-offs until it snaps into
place. Dress the 4-NB cable toward the rear of the
receiver and through the notch in the filter shield
just above the NB socket and under the mode
switch cover. Plug the 4-NB into the NB socket
of the R-4C.
Turn on the receiver and tune in the crystal cali-
brator signal. Detune the PRESELECTOR until
calibrator signal S meter reading is around
S5.
Temporarily unplug the 4-NB cable and reinstall
the jumper plug. Compare S meter readings. If the
gain varies more than
l/2
S unit between the 4-NB
and the jumper plug, adjust R12 (blue potentiom-
eter on 4-NB) until S meter readings are equal
when switching between the 4-NB and the jumper
plug. Replace cabinet top.
2-16. CONNECTION TO T-4XC
TRANSMITTER.
For interconnection diagram see the T-4XC in-
struction manual.
2-17. CONNECTION TO
T-4/T-4X/T-4B/
T-4XB
TRANSMITTERS.
Connect as indicated in the transmitter instruction
manual. No connection will be made to the CAR
OSC jack and the shorted phono plug should be
left in the PTO LAMP jack. Follow the instructions
in the transmitter manual for Transceive Alignment
if necessary. When making the adjustment, set the
R-4C PASSBAND TUNING at 12 o’clock and the
MODE Switch to SSB. Other control settings are
the same as stated for the R-4/R-4B. The adjust-
ment on the R-4C is C59 located on a PC board on
the top of the R-4C chassis (see figure 5-l). Adjust
this capacitor for zero canary chirps.
2-18. CONNECTION TO TR-4 OR TR-4C.
To use the R-4C as an external receiver with the
TR-4/TR-4C
transceiver, make the connections
illustrated in figure 2-3.
