[Drake] Drake B-Line - 600 Hz off

[Dan W. Dooley]

I have found that when using the R-4B to "drive" the xmtr, the power output
from the transceiver is not exactly the same as when the transmitter itself
is providing VFO drive.  It tends to be a little lower here.  No much,
though and it does vary by band.  But I've found that if I do the alignment
of the trimmers (injection and such) with the two rigs connected together
with the cables I'm going to be using with the setup, that I can make the
power differences very close.  For the most part, the power difference is 5
to 10 watts.

I've also found that different cables made a difference.  Even from some
which for all indications were good.  Worth a try.
