[Drake] Better Antenna Connector on Drake R-4B Receiver

[Heinz Breuer]

If you use high quality Chinch plugs the RCA sockets are fine. 
I agree with Michael upon the BNC connector. If you need to modify your equipment do a no hole mod. Every non reversible modification will certainly reduce the value.
