Hi Folks,

In a previous life, I just thought I had to have a Collins KWM/HF 380 so I
bought one and sent it to Wayne Spring for total restoration and update. It
has every option available on a 380 included with full documentation and
spare parts.  I have roughly 4500.00 invested in it but NEVER even turn it
on since I discovered the PRO II's

I would like to trade it toward a mint IC 775 DSP or IC 781.

The Collins would need to be picked up in Northwest Arkansas because it is
so heavy and so nice I would not want to ship it.  Besides almost every 380
that I have ever heard of that was shipped wound up with problems when
delivered. (Honest)

Are they a better rig than the Icom rigs?, NO they are not by a long shot
but there may still be a crazy collector out there like I once was that
wants one..

This will be the last of the Collins stuff so if someone wants to get me to
100% Icom make me a trade..
