That KWM-2A may actually have been an RT-718/FRC-93.

There was allegedly some sort of sticker applied to KWM-2A units that contained
the JAN nomenclature.  But I've seen several KWM-2A units over the past 30 years
that were *claimed* to be RT-718/FRC-93 units, but none had any visible indication
of JAN nomenclature.

I personally have never considered that the KWM-2A even began to meet the usual
standards for military radio equipment...particularly its use of RCA phono plugs,
al la Heathkit.  I guess as an "FRC" unit it got a pass!
