There was a KWM-2A, and a KWM2-A.

  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.

    I think he is looking for the differance between the two 'A' versions of the
    KWM2.

    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?
