[Drake] 4-Line Receivers?

[Tom NØJMY]

Bob, you may want to also try the www.zerobeat.net/drakelist/ reflector. 
  It's actually more active than this list, and guys there, such as 
k4oah will tell you the exact differences between the different R-4 
series variations.

I know there are four (4) different versions of R-4A, alone.

73,
