[Drake] re: FS QXer

Thanks for the info, Ron.

I did not mean to insinuate that the QXer could only be used with
Drake.

I was simply trying to place its vintage with some sort of
reference.  Obviously, it could be used with any receiver with a
455 KC IF.

I have now downloaded the manual, and printed it, so a very nice
copy of the manual is available with the unit.

The QXer itself is still available.

Thanks.

For Sale:

Drake "QX-er" Q multiplier  Model 583

I am not sure of the exact vintage of this item, but it looks
like it would be prior to the Drake 1 A receiver, although it
is possible that it might work with a 1 A.  It says on it that
it is made for a 455 KC IF. (Yes, it actually says KC and not
KHz ! )

One knob selects off, notch, boost, or peak.  Other knobs
adjust notch, adjust peak, and the larger knob for tuning.

Unfortunately, I have no way to test it, but it looks like it is
in good working order.  Cosmetically, it is very, very good,
with only a couple of VERY minor scratches.

I do not have a manual for it, but find that W7FG does have
a manual for it listed for $8.

$50 plus shipping from Florida.

Thanks.
