[Hallicrafters] More questions on SX-100

[Glen Zook]

I has been my experience that the SX-100 is more
stable than the HQ-180.  However, the HQ-145, being
the extension of the HQ-129X, HQ-140X, and HQ-150
series tends to be more stable than the SX-100, or at
least as stable.  I know that my HQ-140X is slightly
more stable than my SX-100.  However, every other
Hammarlund receiver that I have ever used (or
serviced) other than the HQ-129X series quoted above
has not been very stable!  This includes the HQ-170
series (on 20 meters and above - on 160, 80, and 40
the stability is acceptable - on 6 meters forget it
for SSB!).

The bandspread calibration on my SX-100 is "OK".  It
is nothing like my any of my Collins receivers, or my
Heath SB-Line equipment.  But, for casual work it is
fine.

For comparison I suspect the "Flagship" HQ-180A is
probably Hammarlunds nearest equivalent to the SX-100.
How do they compare in operation, reliability and
stability (or for that matter the Hammy HQ-145X vs the
SX-100)?
