Since I haven't been able to find any information re the zener diode mod
to correct a shift in frequency between transmit and receive on a collins
kwm-2, last night I contacted Dennis Brothers about that and here's what he
told me.
The fix for that will appear in a late manual of January 1978 Rev 1.
Apparently, there never were any service bulletins to show that fix so it's
a case of having this late manual. Along with that Collins had a fix for the
xtal oscillator circuit V13 which should also be shown in the same manual.
Since I don't have that late a manual, I would appreciate if anyone could
scan those two portions of the schematic especially the one to do with the
zener in the pto circuit so that I can properly repair this kwm-2 that I
working on now. Or I would be interested in purchasing a complete manual
issued Jan 1978 Rev 1 please. The shift between transmit and recieve is
enough that I'm told that I'm off frequency which is quite anoying.
