Send-Receive Halli's

[eaj at HIWAAY.NET]

Ya'll:  I looked in the "Ham Radio Buyer's Guides" and it appears "SR"
did indeed mean "Send-Receive".  ALL of the so-designated Halli's are
transceivers - there's the SR-34, 42, 46, 75, 150, 160, 200, 400, 500,
and 750.
        On the other hand, not all transceivers got the SR prefix - there's the
HC-100, a Handi-Talkie; the PC-230 "Porta Command"; TR-9; WR-600;
FPM-200 & 300; and SBT-100.
        I have also long assumed that the "HT" prefix on the transmitters meant
"Ham Transmitter"!
        There is one oddity:  Unless this is a misprint, the SR-500 number was
apparently used twice - once in 1955 for a console that held the HT-30,
HT-31, and SX-100 (making it a transceiver, in effect), and again in
1965, for the SR-500 "Tornado" one-box transceiver.
        Anybody wanna hold a seance and ask old grouch Halligan what the
nomenclature really meant?!
