[Hallicrafters] 6V powered radios.

[Glen Zook]

For HF:

Not Hallicrafters, but the Gonset G-66/G-66B receiver and the G-77 transmitter can be run from a 6 volt system.  The G-66 was introduced in 1955 and the G-77 was introduced in 1956.  The G-66B was introduced in 1957.

The Harvey-Wells T-90 transmitter and R-9 receiver can be run from 6-volts and they were introduced in 1955.

The Morrow MBR-5 receiver was introduced in 1955 and the Morrow MB-560 transmitter were introduced in 1956.  The Morrow MB-560A transmitter and Morrow Falcon receiver were introduced in 1957.  Again, 6 volt capable.

If you want 6-meter or 2-meter FM then there were all sorts of 6 volt radios made by Motorola, General Electric, and others.  Hammarlund made the "Outercom" FM units that were available for either lowband (6-meter) and highband (2-meter).

Did Halli make any 6V powered mobile radios?  My 1957 truck is crying for a rig, but it's 6V electrical system is somewhat limiting.
