[Hallicrafters] Re Best RX?

[Fern]

    I can attest to the SX-115 as I've had one for a short while here. The 
receive audio is just fantastic which makes it sound even better than my 
collins 51J4's due to the fact that the SX-115 does not use mechanical 
filters. I'll be putting mine for sale shortly as I just don't have the room 
for it all in my rather compact ham shack. It is complete with the speaker, 
the matching SX-32B exciter and the HT-33B amplifier. Someone interested in 
the Pacific Northwest would be great as I could arrange personal delivery at 
least part way as I don't really want to pack these for shipping due to 
their weight.
