[Collins] New Collins Reproduction Items

Fri, 6 Sep 2002 16:47:20 -0400

Ray, W2EC, is correct the antenna switch is not a reproduction item that
Collins had originally made.
I will apologize for this oversight in my earlier post.  I just assumed that
everyone knew this.

Speaking for myself, I am delighted that this firm has taken the initiative
to invest their money and reputation to bring these products to Collins
enthusiasts worldwide.  The Collins Radio Association applauds
Advanced-optics, Ltd. for offering these Collins products.  We hope that
they venture forth with more surprises!
