[Hallicrafters] Bomb Testing Wrap Up

[Roger D Johnson]

There was a higher frequency radio in this series, the S-37. It covered from 130 
to 210 mHz.
It looks different than the s-27/36 models in that it has the old fashioned 
German silver dial
for frequency readout.

Interestingly, the S-27 and S-36 have the same front panel layout. I've seen 
some with a S-36
name tag that say S-27 on the bezel! The S-36A has a slightly different panel 
layout and is
easily recognizable.

73, Roger
