      Hammarlund certainly offered a rack mountable version 
of the 120, see the advertising for the receivers used by 
the Byrd expedition. The photos show rack-mounted HQ-120-X 
and Super-Pros in the same racks. The Super-Pros appear not 
to have crystal filters in them, the earlier versions were 
available without for a lower price. I don't know if the 120 
rack mounts had different panels or an adaptor.
