It may be a re-engineered SX-100 ....
No similarity of design at all. I owned a SX-100 new.
Well, I now have an SX-100 and I do regard it as a "poor ham's SX-88". Dual
conversion, metal dials, similar bandwidth adjustments, etc. But the SX-88 has
two RF stages and 6 bands like a good Hammarlund, and really is a fine design.
I got to tune around with one for a few minutes at an IARC Radiofest at Elgin,
IL one year when they were running a BA shack as part of the Fest.
In the same way, I regard my SX-117 as a poor man's 115. Very similar
architectures, though totally different appearnace and dial.
Whatever you think, the SX-100 and 117 are good bangs for the buck. 73, Mike
