[Hallicrafters] 3.2 or 8 Ohm spkr.

[Mark Bell]

Hi Bill --

I was basing my post upon the SX-101A manual, which requires the headphone
impedance to be between 50 to 5K ohms.

After getting your post, I checked the schematics, and you're indeed correct
!!

My question now is why does Hallicrafters spec it at 50 to 5K ??
