[Hallicrafters] I have a RADIO question.

[Langston, Mike]

If you want to be precise, why not interconnect the two rigs with the
appropriate cables and use only the RX vfo and xtal oscillator (like a
transceiver, Hallicrafters called it "slave" mode). The HT-44 manual
provides all the information you need to make up the cables, then just
select RCVR for the vfo (don't forget to flip the slide switch on the
back) and away you go. Don't be surprised to find you are able to get
more drive from the rcvr than you were from the xmtr vfo/xtal osc.
combination.

I have a SX-117 / HT-44 station which I now have operating.  My 
question is the operational tune-up procedure.  Here is how I do it:  I 
tune the receiver until the voice "sounds good" (40 meter band), then I 
zero-beat the transmitter to the receiver setting using the transmitter 
CAL setting. I occasionally retune the receiver for better sounding 
voice and immediately zero-beat the transmitter.  Is there a better, 
more accurate procedure?  Thanks.
