[Hallicrafters] RE:HT-18/S-53A Station

[Horace W. Hall]

S-53a may not be much by comparison to more expensive & complex rcvrs, but
I see in the 50's era QSTs (in the Operating & YL & other sections that
often carried station pictures) there were a number of modest stations
illustrated with s-53 as the rcvr. One has to believe that these pictured
stations are not the only ones so equipped.

I suspect that you parked those broad rcvrs right over the transmit freq
and listened for any replies within their bandwidth (mental tuning) instead
of (with more selective radios) rocking the tuning up & down from your
freq. This would probably be especially true for crystal bound xmtrs.
