Yes. One of my Elmers, Don R. Anderson, had one. I was very disappointed 
in it at the time. It was brand new then.

Although I have never used one of those, I have heard that they were pretty 
good.

The SX-117 and SX-115 was also, apparently, very stable.

But as far as I am concerned, those were exceptions to the generality of Halli 
receivers.

The HQ-129X would have been my choice even over the SX-101 I think.

At least one can hang a BC-453 on one. ;-)
