[Boatanchors] Hallicrafters FPM-300

[Rob Atkinson]

run from the FPM300 as fast as you can.  I had one in the late 1970s.
It was a dog with a D.  Sweep tube final, but no stock fan.  I think a
fan was an option.  Lift the lid and hear the VFO drift 5 kc.  Ditto
for putting a fan on the rig.  On CW there was no offset.

I’ve wanted to buy one from time to time over the years but never ended up with one.  I’m wondering if anyone on here has ever owned one and can comments on it.  It is the last Hallicrafters radios manufactured before they shut down the ham production line.
