[Drake] Atlas DD6 Digital readout to Drake R4C

[Darrel Nichols]

Tried that once with mixed results.   It is true that the timebase will
match the mixing scheme in the radio,
but an extra 20DB amp was necessary plus a buffer stage.   As I recall,
some bands still didn't read correctly.
It was several years ago and no longer have the C-Line.  Think I Y'ed it
off the VFO cable between RX/TX.

The DD6 is worth some money on the e place.  I'd sell it and get one of the
current offerings such as:

Can anyone assist me with connection instructions for adapting the Atlas
DD6 difgital readout to my Drake R4C receiver. It does adapt according to
the limited instuctions I have but it doesn't show where to plug the
digital readout into the rcvr. The readout has a plug on cord that will
plug into a miniature tube socket. Looks like the plug goes into a tube
socket and the tube then plugs into the plug.  If Atlas was still in
business, I could ask them. Thanks and 73, John, K5PGW
