Hello fellow Drake owners. Can the TR4C be paired with any Drake receiver? In my case in particular the R4B??

Ralph,

If you are asking if an R4B can be used as a separate receiver with the
TR4C then the answer is yes.

Connect the R4B Antenna and ground to the TR4C rear "External Receiver Antenna"
socket and the R4B Mute and ground terminals to the TR4C rear "External Receiver
Mute" socket.

To use the R4B as the receiver with the TR4C, set the Left side "RCVR/TRCVR switch
to "RCVR". The R4B will be the receiver.

To revert the TR4C back to a transceiver, simply power OFF the R4B and set the left
side "RCVR/TRCVR" switch to "TRCVR" and the R4B will no longer be the receiver,
the TR4C receiver will perform receive functions.

By the way Ralph, the R4B connections to the TR4C I mentioned are covered in the TR4C manual.

Ralph,

The R4B has MUTE, ANT and 4 ohm SPKR connections on theR4B's rear chassis as shown in
the picture below. Simply substitute the R4B for the "External receiver" shown on page 2-7
Figure 2-9 in the TR4C manual.
