[Collins] KWM-2 additional crystals

[Ian Webb]

You have to have the crystal in a crystal socket that  for the proper
frequency range.

There's a chart in the KWM-2 manual in SECTION 2, Operation.  Table 2.1 in the
manual I dragged out, that shows band positions and TOTAL COVERAGE.  Thus you
have to have to have 10 MHz coverage for 30 meters so it has to go into the
crystal sockets labeled with "C".

For 17 meters you need to cover 18 MHz so you must use a crystal socket
labeled with "D".

So, YES, you have the crystals in sockets that WILL NOT WORK as wired by
Collins since the circuits will not tune the proper frequency range if the
transceiver is aligned to factory specs.
