[ARC5] Looking for AN/ARC-522 or its Collins number 618W-2B UHF transceiver

Nico,

While I do not have the ARC-552, I am writing with a different matter. 
There was also another Collins set, probably dubbed as the "Collins 
201," which belonged to the family of radios of your interest. It's 
known that it was used at least by the West German Luftwaffe, KLu and 
Belgian AF. I am enclosing the photos found on the web for reference. Do 
you recognize the type of that set? I presume that it could have been 
made by Van der Heem.
