6.1.3 T-4 Reciter

    This is a T-4X with the PTO and crystal deck removed. It was intended to provide a transmit function in conjunction with the R4A and R4B receivers. The only other similar device that I know of is the Atlas 210 series. A similar series of devices was the Atlas RX-110 receiver and TX-110 transmitter. The TX-110 used the VFO signal of the receiver in a way similar to the Drake R4B/T-4 Reciter combination.

    Obviously, the Reciter is duplicated whenever you slave a separate T-4any completely to the receiver.

    I've never seen one. This is an item for the curious or the collector and may sell for either next to nothing or might demand a high price from its 'rare' nature. For the practical, and with the used Drake 4 line so readily available, it does not serve much of a purpose other than its novelty value. Any modifications or service notes that generally apply to the Drake T-4 series transmitters would apply to this unit.
