[ARC5] Radios and the Canal

[Joe Connor]

The S-27 is a great receiver. It covers 27.8 mhz to 143 mhz, which includes the modern FM broadcast band. Like the SX-28, it is rugged, well-made and has audio to die for. I'm currently restoring one.

The S-27 is similar to the S-36. Many S-36s are mistakenly seen as S-27s. When Hallicrafters began producing S-36s for the military, it used up its stock of left-over dial bezels labeled "S-27."
