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? -- 73 Hank WD5JFR |

Sorry, it says FRR, not URR!
Lack of thinking, sorry. I'll put pix up at: alt.binaries.picutres.radio -- 73 Hank WD5JFR "Brian Hill" wrote in message ... "Henry Kolesnik" wrote in message om...

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. -- 73 and good DXing. Brian ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A lot of radios and 100' of rusty wire!

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

Most of them Mil (Military) Radios are different.I know an old guy who
goes around and buys things to resell to help keep the wolf away from the door,so to speak.A few years ago,he had a Russian Ship Radio and a England Radio for sale.He was asking $50.00 for the Roosky Radio and $30.00 for the Limeyland Radio.Why I passed on both of them Radios,I have no idea.I think I am fixin to phone that auld fart over there at Southwood Apartments on Elton Road and see if he (Charles McKeithen) has something I need to buy from him. cuhulin |

Anyone have any info? -- 73 Hank WD5JFR 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? Les |
