[Hallicrafters] SX-28 Under Chassis

[Ian]

Julian,

The can looks to me like a mobile ANL unit.  My recollection, perhaps
incorrect, is that it might have been sold by Gonset.  I think I still have
one in a junk box somewhere.

I had one that I used in the mid 1950s on my 1947 Chevy car radio.  I used a
Morrow MBR-3 converter and later a Gonset converter that I had added 40
meters to.  One REALLY needed the ANL on 10 meters.  I seem to remember a
toggle switch either on the far end of one of the shielded wires or actually
on the can to turn the limiter on and off.  

Am I hallucinating or does this ring a bell with others?

Ian, K6SDE
