[Hallicrafters] Hallicrafters transceivers

[Jim DiMauro]

Joe:

I own a very nice SR-400A.  It's a plasure to use,
very stable and it has two useful features that
Collins didn't include in their xcvrs: RIT and a notch
filter.  Im my opinion, the SR-400 or 400A is worth
looking for. As for the finals, the 400A uses 6KD6
tubes. They're not too hard to find, but they tend to
be a bit pricey.  On the positive side, you don't need
a matched pair in the '400A, so you can buy one or two
as you find them instead of paying a premium for a
set; just try to keep the same brand.  The non-A
version used a different final tube, I'm not sure
which.  As I recall, the non-A had slightly lower
output power, IMO not enough to worry about. Good
luck.

73,
Jim
