I'm with Peter on this one: My grandfather (an old ham) bought me the S-120
when I was kid in the (very) early 60s. It was not a fun radio and
thankfully stopped working in a couple of weeks. He replaced it with a used
NC-125 with the built-in Select-O-Ject circuit. Now that looked like a
radio! I had a ball figuring out how to make SSB and CW copy 'better' with
that select-o-ject feature. The howl when it would break into oscillation
used to scare the &^%$ out of my mom.

Hallicrafters S-120

Rat Shack DX-300

Knight Star Roamer

All sad pieces of crap, gathering dust in my 'wall of shame'.


Thankfully, my R8 with TTFD into ANC-4 and a Horiz Loop is all I really
need to have fun.
