[Hallicrafters] SX-28 Questions

[rbethman]

Nick,

I sent him an E-Mail regarding the crystal alignment part.

He replied directly as to appreciation for bring back memories that tied 
into the situation.

I haven't had an SX-28 in a VERY long time.  I couldn't remember 
anything about the ANL, BUT - I do remember tuning to a crystal 
filter/separate BFO.

Some of us *still* manage to pull back old stored data in the brain matter!
