[ARC5] Hallicrafters S-38 is dangerous

[DSP3]

Was not Hallicrafters owned by Bendix, for a time? I was in KC in 1975 
and a gentlemen there got me some Hallicrafters manuals, available from 
his employer, Bendix.  I wonder if the CB craze didn't help destroy 
Hallicrafters and maybe E F Johnson and others, at the time.  At least 
EFJ came back in the commercial two-way business.
