[Milsurplus] Official Mod Described

[C.Whitaker]

de WB2CPN
Some equipment was modified more than others.
AF had a thing called the Modification Work Order,
MWO, with a number similiar to the T.O. number.
You might find that stenciled on the equipment.
The driving force was the Unsatisfactory Report.
In many cases you'll find equipment modified on a
local basis.  Like me putting a BC-610 on the
broadcast band.   Lots of times the equipment would
be changed at the factory,  and a letter suffix assigned.
Anytime you see a receiver that got up to the "Q"
version, it has been the route.  And Robert may have
thought about this,  but when any equipment had
multiple manufacturers,  each model could be slightly
different to avoid patent problems or the availibility of
components.
