[Hallicrafters] sx 110

[WA1KBQ at aol.com]

I don't think the SX-110 receiver really had a  matching transmitter. With 
the addition of an s-meter and a crystal filter the  SX-110 was the deluxe 
version of the S-108. I would call the S-108/ SX-110  series a short-wave listener 
receiver rather than a communications receiver  though it does have a 
stand-by/ rec switch. The S-108/ SX-110 was the final  iteration of the original 1939 
S-20R. Hallicrafters sure got a lot of mileage  from that one basic circuit 
over the years and you can trace the lineage all the  way through starting with 
S-20R and then on to S-40, then  to S-85 (and  SX-99), which led to S-108/ 
SX-110. The tube types evolved a little but the  circuit was essentially the old 
S-20R circuit which by the way was pretty good  considering what it cost. I 
have always thought the S-20R was hands down the  best buy at the time and 
offered the most bang for the buck in 1940. As others  have already mentioned the 
SX-111 was the intended match for the HT-37. SX-111  covered amateur bands only 
in CW-AM-SSB modes with a product detector (at least  in the later versions) 
and was a real communications receiver. I have used them  and they are 
actually quite good though not as mechanically robust as an SX-101  or SX-101A. I 
think they work as well though.
