What crystal frequency would the KWM1 require to get on 17m ?
Is it a metal hc6u type?

Hello All,
 
The Collins KWM-1 is perhaps the easiest BA rig to put on 17  meters.   You 
don't even need a screwdriver, but you WILL have to buy  a crystal.   Just 
unplug the crystal/bandswitch tray from the front  panel, remove the 
hardware to open its cover, plug in an  appropriate crystal, and you are all set on 
17 meters.   The  KWM-1 will work on ANY frequency between 14 and 30 MHz 
(including both 17 AND 12  meter WARC bands) by doing this.   Assuming the 
KWM-1 is aligned  properly, it will work as well on 17 meters as it already 
does on 20, 15, and  10.
 
73, Herman, N4CH.
