| | Hallicrafters S20R 'Sky
Champion'
This was gifted to me by a YL who's now a silent-key.
I repaired & used this
beautiful WWII RX till I got hold of a
Phillips D2999 PLL synthesized general
coverage HF RX with a resolution of 1KHz and a tunable BFO. The
S20R, however, is still in working condition though I've replaced the original
speaker with a separate inductor/ line filter (in place of the old field coil)
and a normal 8 ohms speaker. This RX is ok up to 40 Mts. Any
serious work above 40Mts will call for better image rejection and sensitivity.
Here's a brief description.
