FW: [Collins] Pointers

Interesting...

Just pulled out two spare KWM-2 meters. Both are in the exact same case but one has the spade and the other is a needle. I agree, Brian. The spade is the way. They'll match the 30S-1 meters, for sure, but I don't see a need to change. Both meters were serviced back in 2001 by Bartlett. Their invoice listed the the same model number so they are from the same vendor. I'll check them out and it they work I'll pass the along. Never would have thought about it. My thanks to you and Dave for the heads-up.

Stu, k2qde
