[Hallicrafters] SX-100 vs SX-88

[WA1KBQ at aol.com]

I agree, and did not intend to come down hard on the SX-100; they  
certainly are good receivers. A quote by James Millen might apply to  receivers 
targeted toward the mid price range: "When a receiver is designed to  sell for a 
lower price one must expect compromises had to be made." The SX-100  did 
reflect many SX-88 design features and performs well but  engineers did it 
with lower cost parts.

The  SX-100 is a general coverage receiver and a very good one! It was 
never  
intended to be in the same league with the SX-88. About all they share in  
common is the fantastic tuning. Smooth as silk!
