[Hallicrafters] Thank You to all that have responded.

I don't know that this is correct. Being a retired Motorola 2-way senior
technician, I have experience with public service and private radio
systems operating between 25 and 30 MC. The operators needed only a 3rd
class license or a restricted permit, issued without any examination.
Now, no license is required. Just being an employee of the licensee is
enough. When I was much younger, my father was a California Highway
Patrol officer and operated an AM station on 1692 kc licensed as KAPI in
Grass Valley, which communicated with KADJ at Sacramento. All officers
had to have a 3rd class license. Nothing technical, just rules and
procedures.
