[Collins] KWM-380 Update

[David Knepper]

Just a quick update to tell all your KWM-380 owners that the 2SC2879 RF
output transistors, that I ordered from RF Parts Company, are doing an
outstanding job.  Full output and couldn't be happier, especially the price
for a matched set at only $42.00.

I did install two new 1N5711 diodes on the directional coupler board since
once failed resulting in a loss of ALC voltage, as per the article in the
July/August issue of the Collins Journal.

More to say on this matter in the new issue of the Collins Journal for
September/October due out later this month.

Special thanks to Ian McLean, VK3JQ.
