I got four out of the five radios talked about on that link - I don't have the rescue radio.

it is amazing we think that our technology was better but it sometimes isn't. All the ones I have work well on the air and a couple sound really good.

 

Yeah they are good to have, the art-13 and the BC-348 both run off of a dyno and are noisy. I have other accessories for the set, like the cu-32 and remote control heads.

If you want to see what I have, here is someone who has almost the same things.

By the way it's not the ignition you need to really worry about with emp, you have to worry about the charging system and battery.

 

I forgot to reply to you and have to ask what hallicrafters do you have?

 

That's great.

First radio radio I ever turned on was my grandfathers s-40 that was given to him in 1940's. I loved that radio, my uncle has that radio now would like to get it. Through the years I've had everything except an s-40 from an s-40a to an s-52.

I've got several s-38s, they are neat radios. Love them, bought many of them through the years but 11 years ago I sold all of them off to make room for another huge radio. So last year I got the s-38 bug again and now I've got five or six of them again.

It nice to know that others appreciate hallicrafters radios.
