Did you bother to write Dave, the designer of said product, and inquire? My bet
is you did not. I sent you the address, so give it a try. There are others in
the Hallicrafters, Hammarlund, Heathkit and Boat Anchors archives, try checking
there for information.

Howdy "Hallicrafter-ites",
I've been doing some listening with the SX-71 that I recapped, rebuilt and
repainted a couple years back.  During the last year the set has made a
couple of brief excursions out of the Merced area but ALWAYS "comes home to
papa".  Kind of like a Homing Pigeon in that regard.  Hey!  "Homing BA"s,
what a concept.

Anyway, I swear (actually, I don't swear) that this thing just keeps getting
"Gooder 'N Gooder" with time, kind of like fine wine or a good wife.
Either that or over time I just "forget" how well it plays.  (donning my
fire suit) Now, if it just had a digital display so that I didn't need to
use a portable "spotting receiver" to make certain of the DX station I'm
tuned to.

Checked out the "Freq Mite" Morse freq reader, but this thing is double
conversion and has different LO offsets for the low and high bands.

73 from the "Beaconeers Lair".
