Hi Paul,

?

I was reviewing my 2012 Hamvention Drake Forum presentation and came across a picture of the AMP-4 in my R-4C.? The inverting input has a 220 uF capacitor installed.? There may well be some AMP-4s with 330 uF capacitors for the inverting input.

?

The bulk of the attached Drake presentation deals with drastically reducing the line-related sidebands on the R-4C PTO.? I know you and I found this solution independently about the same time, likely in 2011.? R-4C owners may find this attached document interesting.?

?

It is tedious to rotate the R-4C power transformer 90 degrees, but it really makes a difference.? A hole punch makes the job mechanically easy even if there is a good bit of work removing and reinstalling the wires.

?

We will likely never know why Drake mounted the transformer properly in the R-4, R-4A and R-4B, but mounted it incorrectly in the R-4C.

The computed -3 dB high-pass turnover frequency is 123 Hz for 330 uF, and 204 Hz for 200 uF.? Pick either one based on personal roll-off preference.
