[Hallicrafters] SX-28A Bandswitch

[Al Parker]

Hi Charlie,
    Welcome to the fun of SX-28's ;-)   It's gotta be a mechanical
problem, maybe the detent/stop on the rear panel.  The flats on the BS
shaft should be on the sides, i.e. flat at 9 & 3 o'clock.  Looking into
the rear, with the detent off, the tab on the switch wafer "rotor" should
be at about the 4 o'clock posn, alnost toward the tapped hole.  I've been
into my SX-28A for the last week or so, it's open, so I took a peek for
you.  It'd be easy to get 180 degrees off, but I can't figure how you'd
get 1 band off.
    My SX-28A is "a whole nutha story," maybe I'll go into that in the
near future.
    They are great sounding when they're done, I have my "plain" SX-28 on
almost every day.

Hello alI have just finished re-capping the bottom half of my SX-28A and

noticed the bandswitch stops on band 2( 1.6 - 3.0 MC) when turned fully

clockwise. This seemed a bit curious to me, as it seemed to me it should
stop

at band 1. I have never seen this rcvr powered up, never used it. It was
given to

me a couple of years ago.  Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Charlie , K4GBM
