[Hallicrafters] SONAR

[Rocco Lardiere]

Dan,

The case on the CB Sonar you referenced looks identical to that of my Sonar
"Four Bander" 75-15m SSB transceiver.  The case is a bit smaller than the SX
117/HT 44.  But the general look is the same.  I suspect Sonar found that
they could make more money in CB in the early 60's than in the ham market.

Case closed?

73,

Rocco N6KN
