R.L. Drake 1A Receiver Photo's Robert L. Drake 1-A SSB Receiver Welcome to my Robert L. Drake 1A SSB Receiver page. This radio was designed by Robert L. Drake in the later 1950's. Prior to the design of this radio, the typical ham receiver was very large, very heavy, and very complicated. With this radical design, Robert L. Drake challenged the norm and drove the radio market in a new direction. While this radio was truly revolutionary and acknowledged to be technically superior to most radios of the day, it was ridiculed for its strong resemblance to a rural mailbox. The radical departure from the norm is not unnoticed. The typical radio of that day weighed some 45 - 50 pounds and was 25 some inches wide. The Drake 1A weighed only 18 pounds and was 12 inches wide. It was clearly a great leap forward in design!
