[Hallicrafters] sx-43 and sx-24 skyryderdefient----Twins----???

[Glen Zook]

In fact, as far as I know, Hallicrafters manufactured
at least "some" transmitters in all of the HT-1
through HT-20 series.  However, their primary business
was the manufacture of receivers.  I don't know it for
a "fact", but I would think that the BC-610 series
military transmitter was produced in more quantity
than any of the other transmitters.  

According to my "sources", the HT-1 was a "phone / CW"
transmitter with an input power of 100 watts on CW and
50 watts on "phone".  The HT-2 was the CW only version
of this transmitter.

There are people out there who definitely have a
better understanding of the Hallicrafters
manufacturing business than I do.  But, from my
limited knowledge, Hallicrafters produced many more
receivers over the years than transmitters.

I do know that during the late 1950s and very early
1960s, it "seemed" like every other novice station
that was on the air used an SX-99 receiver (probably
not that many actually used the SX-99, but there were
quite a number of them in operation).  I have never
owned an SX-99, but had its "little brother" the S-85
(same receiver less "S" meter and crystal filter). 
Got another S-85 a couple of years ago to "re-create"
my 2nd primary station (DX-100 / S-85).

Anyway, the "history" of any of the old "boat anchor"
companies is a very interesting, in at least "my
opinion", subject.
