I'm sure I've had t he AR-88 fired up. I understand that most of them went to England and Canada. Any guy who has one is a lucky pup. Yes, I also have the ACR-175. RCA did a nice job on their communications receivers, but the hams gravitated toward Hallicrafters, Hammarlund and National. That pretty much took all the steam out of RCA's efforts.
When I was a kid, and saw the Halli SX-28's in the stores, then one in a pal's home, I'd have heart palpitations. I do have a SX-28, and the bass reflex speaker. My first communications set was a Halli SX-62. It was my set in the dorm where I lived in college. It was in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, and if you didn't have something like that, you were limited to about 2 stations. I st ill have that set, of course.
