Re: Large amount of Drake gear in latest Schulman web auction

Re: Need Crystal freq. for 28.5 mhz in TR4C
Greg: The TR-4C was *originally *supplied with a 43.0 Mhz xtal for that range. Back in the '70's there was far more activity above 28.5 than there is now. The 42.5 Mhz xtal for 28.0 - 28.6 (+++)

I wouldn;t say so much work as time involved in packing and selling radios. Packing supplies aren't that much and shipping through UPS/FEDEX are reasonable if you get an account with them to receive
