[Boatanchors] Hallicrafters FPM-300

[Jim Liles]

Rob,

What's wrong with sweep tubes??  Yep the FPM300 is drifty but the rest of 
the radio seems OK but buy the markII.

Kindest regards Jim

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.
