[Boatanchors] Halli SX-88

Thu, 30 Jan 2003 09:39:58 +1300

I had one here for a while before it went on epay.... for a ridiculous
price. They were originally built as Hallicrafters answer to the Collins
R388 for the military..... Joke..... Anyway they didnt get the military
contract.... I wonder why!!!

I didnt think it was any great shakes as a RX..... Heaps better out there
and certainly wasnt even in the same league as the Racal RA17 or any of the
Collins stuff.

Bit I will give Hallicrafters one thing. They must have been quite an
expensive receiver t build as the quality of the components in them is
excellent...
