[Collins] Re: AOR DDS-2A Revisited

[Heinz und Hannelore Breuer]

Hi,

I just checked my DDS-2A, serial #00288 which I bought NIB from a ham in
UK. It has the RS-232 connector on the back and the manual has a 4 page
programming guide. I can fax these pages if amybody wants it.

Merry Christmas and a happy new year
