R-274D/URR ?
 
I just got this unit at the ABQ swap and started looking for a a manual with
Google and found that unit is differnt from the ones I've found pictured.
It has 3 Collins mechanical filters. At the top upper left it has a Squelch
control and next to it is a Noise Silencer control. The mode swtich is
labeled AM and SSB/CW. The lettering looks factory done. The filters have
been added on a sub chassis and I'm not sure it is a factory mod or homebrew
but it has been nicely done. The S meter was made by Texas Instruments. It
has some problems including lots of nosie, hetrodynes, etc.. I've only seen
one of these in the past and can recall which version it was, they must be
scarce? Anyone have any info?

Appears to be the Mil version of the SX-73 at any rate, also similar to the
SP600. Seems to be Hallicrafters?

Hank,

The Hallicrafters didn't come with mechanical filters. The R-274 series
actually had receivers built by both Hallicrafters and Hammarlund. The
Hallicrafters were designated R-274/URR, R-274D/URR and SX-73. The
Hammarlund SP-600's that had the R-274 designation were listed as
R-274A/URR, R-274B/URR and R-274C/URR. The full list can be seen at:
http://www.hammarlund.info/sp600.html

How about a photo of what you got?

I thought those were all designated FRR?

Henry Kolesnik February 5th 05 06:06 PM

Sorry, it says FRR, not URR!
Lack of thinking, sorry.

Ok. Yea that would have been a rare one allright. It's either a SP-600 or a
SX-73. The collins R-390, 388s etc used the URR designation and other radios
but I've never heard of a R-274 under that. I'm just going on memory so I
could be wrong.
