[Hallicrafters] S-53?

[Glen Zook]

I have owned an HQ-129X and have an HQ-140X which is
the same basic circuit with miniature tubes instead of
octal tubes.  Both receivers are definitely better
than the S-107 in general performance.  However, the
LDS (least decernable signal) or MDS (minimum
decernable signal) is about the same.

Even so a school pal had a new S-53A and I had a
second hand HQ-129X during that cycle. Guess who heard
a heck of a lot better with both using similar
antennas?
