Well,
Yes...that was to me from Skip....AND
my sx-117/ht44 does work FB in transceive and seperate.
Soon I will need to change out the finals, as power is a little down.
Also, the pair look close to new....very close.
73,

The difficulties in getting this combo going together are chronicled in 
the
QTH.net Hallicrafters archives.  The person who caused most all the 
trouble
is Skip, W7WGM (aka Waldo Magnuson) who related this to the list on Sat 
Mar
18 14:04:23 EST 2006.  I quote, in part, "At the recent Seattle 
(actually
Puyallup) Hamfest I purchased a SX-117
/ HT-44 pair."

This started a conversation about these two units, including the dreaded
slave mode, that lasted five years.  One of the last messages I kept 
from
Skip was this in response to someone inquiring about the pair on Mon 
Jan 25
12:40:07 EST 2010;

"Hi Lee,
    I run a HT-44 / SX-117 station and like the combination.  Very few
problems and I always get good reports.  I've had them for about 5 
years and
before the 44/117 I has a HT-37 / SX-111 setup.  The transceive mode in
44/117 works very well and caused no issues in connections - just 
follow the
manual.
73,  Skip  W7WGM"

Since both your units are running nicely, I suppose you could save 
yourself
a lot of time and interesting reading by simply contacting Skip 
directly.
You should be able to find his current email address in the archives:
http://mailman.qth.net/ (click on list directories, then 
"Hallicrafters",
then on "Hallicrafters Archives", then navigate to the year, month, and 
day
you wish to review.)


Good luck,
Chris

Trying to slave the 2 and have them hooked up as required per the
instructions.Both work well alone but will not tx when switched.Checked 
the
cables and switches,I'm sure someone has had the problem before and may 
have
some ideas.Thanks...KF9WV
