Hi all, my name is Ted (KQ4MZ) and I just came into
posession of a
Drake R4-C receiver which I intend to build a Drake
station from. For
now I just plan to use this as an extra receiver. My
question is how
can I connect a coax to the antenna jack on the back of
the receiver? I
have never owned any older tube gear aside from old swl
radios and have
never seen a phono plug type jack for an antenna. Can I
solder the
center conductor of the coax to the pin on a male phono
plug and the
braid to the body of the plug? Any help would be most
appreciated. I
want to be able to connect the Drake into an antenna
switch that I have
all my other rigs connected to . Thanks again for any and
all
thoughts.

Ted, do you have a manual for this thing. If not there
is one on-line at:

Probably pretty low res. There may be a better one
somewhere, a Google search should find it.
