DX-100 Mate

[Glen Zook]

The Hallicrafters HT-30 transmitter / SX-96 receiver
was probably the first of the Hallicrafters "twins". 
They both came out in 1954 and are very similar in
looks.  Also, the HT-30 was an SSB exciter and the
SX-96 was "billed" as an SSB receiver.  Then the SX-96
was replaced by the SX-100 in 1955 and the HT-31
linear amplifier was introduced the same year.

Hallicrafters sold the SR-500 console that had the
HT-30, SX-100, and the HT-31 plus a control panel and
space for additional equipment.  This also was
introduced in 1955.

Heath introduced the TX-1 Apache transmitter and the
RX-1 Mohawk for the 1958 model year.

Collins introduced the 75S-1 receiver and the 32S-1
transmitter in late 1957.  Of course the 75A1 receiver
and 32V1 transmitter came out in the late 1940s and
the 75A4 / KWS-1 in 1955.

Yes - I like (and own) both twins and classic mixes -
but in the day of the DX100 the only "twins" that come
to mind were Collins and Hallicrafters (and it was in
a lot of cases hard to call some Hallicrafters twins
it was after the HT37/SX101 that they were truly
"twins") - all the others were in the future, pretty
much post 1960.
