[Collins] found the problem with kws-1 tx audio

[Dr. Gerald N. Johnson]

Googling, I find its not a single row, but two rows of 6 and one row of 
3. Picture at:

who is willing to part with a new connector for $25.

And linked indirectly to epay,

has four for that price. Possible the same vendor.

Plus ebay australia and ebay hong kong. And many hits that don't appear 
to have anything to do with a Collins transmitter part.

google "kws-1" j102 for more.
