[Hallicrafters] 18 ohm 2 watt resistor

[mac]

HT-30 is a transmitter so presume the speaker referred to here would  
be one that went with an SX-100 or other companion receiver?  Could  
have something to do with reliable VOX operation.  Can't imagine the  
value is critical.  WW type (20 or 25 ohm, 5 or 10W) probably work OK.

HT-30 manual one of the few NOT available on the BAMA site BTW.
