[Hallicrafters] Head Scratcher

   "S"meant basic selectivity , that is not really meant for communications 
work, but good overall performance.  SX as in the SX 71 meant excellent 
selectivity and " high end communication" ability for separating close in 
stations from the station you want to listen too. I believe the SX 71 was 
the first to have this designation.
