[Elecraft] Drake twins quiet compatred to K2?

Sun Dec 29 23:14:02 2002

The Drake "C" line has a solid state audio amplifier. It does run in class A
though... and is quite in efficient.
Doesn't sound to good either... The "A" line and the "B" line and all
Collins (KWM2 and "S" line) all had tube audio amplification.

Interesting discussion though...
