The new solid state Drake FS-4 Synthesizer opens the door to a new world of continuous-tuning short wave. Combines synthesized general coverage flexibility with the selectivity, stability, frequency readout and reliability of the DRAKE R-4C or SPR-4 Receivers.

 

bulletInterfaces with all R-4 series receivers and T-4X series transmitters.(R-4, R-4A, R-4B, R-4C. SPR-4, T-4, T-4X, T-4XB and T-4XC), without modification

 Note from Ramon Klein :

Hello,

I was visiting the museum and noted that the FS-4 information didn't mention that it can be used on the 2-C receiver as well. The only changes required for the FS-4 to work with the SPR-4, 2-C and R-4 receivers is the crystal in the FS-4.

R-4 and T-4X        9.6    Mhz crystal
SPR-4                   9.59   Mhz crystal
2-C                       9.5    Mhz crystal  and add 7 Mhz. to FS-4 readout for proper frequency.
