TW>EV>My first RX was a Hallicrafters S-38E, it had a switch to turn on a BFO   
   TW>EV>to listen to CW or SSB (if you could call the circuitry in the S-38E a   
   BFO

   TW>Interesting, My first SW Reciever was a S-38 also. I picked up mine in

   TW>after I retired I aquired a Kenwood R1000 reciever.

   The S-38 receiver my friend who introduced me to SW Radio was a D model.   
      
   The S-38D had two D shaped windows, a reversed D and a D side by side.   
      
   The S-38E that I got had the Sliderule style dial.
