[Collins] KWM2-A

[kwylow zinjanthropus]

Either I copied him wrong or he said the following:
"from a high school ham buddy and the name on the
> front says KWM2-A instead of KWM-2A"
That doesn't make any sense unless what he meant was "[the] front says KWM-2A instead of KWM-2" or "[the] front says KWM-2 instead of KWM-2A". Otherwise, he should be asking if the KWM-2A is a round or winged emblem model.

and other frequencies quite easily using the extra crystal deck found on the
2A. You will find that the military used many KWM-2A's for their MARS and
other comm needs during the 60's and 70's.

because the "high falutin' " sand state rigs couldn't stand the static
buildup of sand. Kind of a nice commentary about tube rigs, no?
