QST, Jul 1961, p. 121. CQ, Jan 1962, p. 17. QST, Feb 1963, p. 115. (a few details) QST, Dec 1963, p. 173. QST, Nov 1964, p. 161. QST, Jan 1965, p. 99. (optional LF converter 2-LF) The 2-B built on the strengths of Drake's 2-A model. It offered selectivity in 0.5, 2.1, and 3.6 kHz steps and had an improved passband tuner. It covered 80-10 meters in seven 600kHz ranges. Five others could be used anywhere between 3.5 and 30 MHz with optional crystals. keyword: 2B
