[Hallicrafters] SX-100

[kiyoinc at attglobal.net]

Nice radio.  I have not done an A:B comparison to my other radios, the
Signal/One CX7A, SB-303, or 75S-1 but I have tuned around 75 and 40 with it
and it does a fine job.

I have an external digital read out for it and it shows a little drift but
not much.   Seems sensitive but I'd expect it to perform poorly above 15, 20
mHz.

The SX-100 has adequate selectivity, not great.  At 50 kHz, the LC filter
works better than 455 kHz IF cans.  It's certainly useable on CW.  In fact,
I plan to use it with a DX-60 for antique, retro CW.

I noticed that the SX-100 uses a three wire, round pin, oval plug for AC
power.  This also fits the Heathkit SB-303/313.  

Anyone know of a source of these?  I have managed to cut down and jam a 3
round pin laptop cord into the socket but would like to find a real
powercord.
