[Hallicrafters] Hallicrafters Radios on a TV Show

[Charlie T, K3ICH]

You want Hallicrafters??
I bought the entire series of "Sky King" at Dayton last year (cheap, the
videos are REALLY low res.) and we've watched all 72 of them (Yes "we"
because my wife & I both luvd the show as kids)
Early shows had several stations, one at Sky's "Flying Crown" ranch and one
at the local sheriff's office, both  consisting on an SX-42 and what looks
like an HT-9 transmitter. 
They correctly refer to "using the short-wave" to communicate.  However,
they never show the radio's in either their twin Cessna B-10, the
"Song-Bird" or their station wagon, but they were used extensively during
the shows.  Curiously, I don't remember seeing any sort of antenna on the
wagon either.

Later, when the plane improved to a C-310, most of the stations were of
various Gonset pieces such as their 50 watt base and various other receivers
and accessories.  
The plane had a typical PTT mile and they'd correctly flip a switch on the
base stations to go from Rx to Tx.

All in all proper radio use and procedure, plus surprisingly good scripts
for a ½ hour children's show from the early 50's.
