[Hallicrafters] ht30

[David Thompson]

It was under powered and lacking 15 meters which probably means it was 
designed in 1951 or before.  The HT-30 was the transmitter/exciter in the 
SR-500
console.

The only SR-500's I have ever seen were in pictures.
One in a Harrison 1959 catalog pictured with all the used gear and the 
second at ET3 (HB9RS) in 1961 pictures when Rundy W3ZA visited on a 
Dxpedition.

The SR-500 was replaced by the SR-1000 with a SX-101 replacing the SX-100, 
the HT-32 replacing the HT-30, and the HT-33 replacing the 500 watt amp. 
The only known units of the SR-1000 I know of was the one Trav , K9EBE used 
at Henry Radio and Dayton and the one sent ny Bill Halligan and Maxwell 
Meyers to HV1CN (the Vatican City).  In that version the SX-101 was replaced 
by the later SX-115.

As with many manufacturers Hallicrafters used the same numbers again.  There 
was a transceiver called the SR-500.  K9EBE made sure the KW transceiver was 
named the SR-2000 skipping the already used SR-1000.
