It has a lot of good usefull information. BEFORE I buy I wanted to check and see what was the thoughts on the Hallicrafters receivers. Always best to compare and get info on all considerations before you make a decision. The last post was specifically about the Hammarlund. This most is mostly about the Hallicrafters. All information and opinions are appreciated. Hope that clarifies my second post. Well, just to let you know... the requirements for general listening to loud shortwave stations are kind of different than the requirements for picking flea-powered CW signals out of the mud. So you might want to have made that point before you asked anything in the first place. Hallicrafters made a whole line of receivers that were basically consumer shortwave receivers. They weren't as well-constructed as top of the line radios, but the audio quality was very good and they were reasonably sensitive. In fact, the audio quality was better than that of the higher end communications receivers because they were designed for that. You can find a Hallicrafters S-38 for $50 at a hamfest still, and they are fun and easy to rebuild. You would go absolutely insane trying to use it on 40M CW, but it's a good pick for shortwave listening. --scott -- "C'est un Nagra. C'est suisse, et tres, tres precis." |
