[Hallicrafters] SX-117

[Al Parker]

Hi Lee,
	My vote would be to get rid of the SX-117/HT-44 (but lose the extra 
space you'd have if you kept them & sold the SX-115/HT-32).  UNLESS you 
have and want the general coverage xtals for the -117.  You'd be keeping 
the better of both xmtr & rcvr, but give up the xcv feature.  If you do 
contests, the xcv is needed.  If you do casual QSO'ing, it's not that 
much an advantage.  You still have the nicer (IMHO) matching look.
