[Milsurplus] [MMRCG] "Radio Prepares for War"

[Gordon Smith]

If I can, I would also like to point out that 
many commercial radio receivers made before WWII 
were pressed into Military service during the 
war. The Hallicrafters SX-28 became the AN/GRR-2 
and the airborne R-45/ARR-7. The Hallicrafters 
S-27 and later S-36 Ultra High Frequency 
receivers are also notable. National had many 
other receivers other than the HRO that were also used by the military.

That being said, the HRO is the only US made 
receiver to my knowledge that was so highly 
thought of that it was copied and manufactured 
during WWII by both the Germans and Japanese.
