[Hallicrafters] Best RX?

[WA1KBQ at aol.com]

>SX-110 is just a SX-99 with a sliderule dial.
 
And to continue with that progression... an SX-99 is just an S-85 with  a 
crystal filter and s-meter and an S-85 is just an S-40 in a different cabinet 
 with new styling and an S-40 is just an S-20R in a new cabinet and so  
forth.
 
Bill Halligan's business model was give 'em the most  bang for the buck. 
Design a few basic circuits and create a wide range of  models to fit every 
pocketbook by changing the styling, make the cabinets look  different and add 
more controls and features such as an s-meter and or  crystal filter and 
build them with broadcast grade components purchased in bulk  to keep the price 
low. 
 
Now which one was the best? Author Raymond S. Moore  asked that same 
question many years ago and extensively researched the subject  and published his 
findings which resulted in four volumes of  "Communications Receivers, The 
Vacuum Tube Era, 1932-  1981." Moore's answer after  all his research 
studying all of those receivers from a myriad of  manufacturers: It all depends.

What was  Hallicrafters best overall receiver?

I am familiar with the SX-28 and  SX-100. I have a SX-110 which leaves a 
lot to be desired. A SX-110 is just a  SX-99 with a sliderule dial.

I'm interested in knowing about the SX-101  and SX-111.
