[Hallicrafters] Non Hallicrafters but interesting radio history

[Mike Hyder -N4NT-]

I worked with some police departments years ago, first as a radio tech and 
later as a prosecutor. That gave me the opportunity to talk with some old 
timers about the good ole days.

They told me that their first police car radios were just receivers and 
received broadcasts from the station. To me that explained the origin of the 
term "2-way radio."
