[Drake] 2-A vrs 2-B

[George Flanagan]

>From wikipedia: "In 1959 they followed the 1A with the 2A, a more 
traditional looking receiver that was a bit larger but still much more 
compact than its contemporaries. The 2A had more features, increased 
sensitivity and selectivity, and was introduced at the same price as the 1A. 
It was followed two years later by the 2B, very similar in appearance but 
with improved performance and a new set of controls for adjusting the 
selectivity (bandwidth) and center frequency."

Ron, for  ham band use the 2B is the better choice and probably more 
plentiful. Main difference is better selectivity.
