[Milsurplus] King KMC 95 Transceiver

[Jack Antonio]

OK, so its not military, but at least it is non-amateur.
And its not a boatanchor, so I decided to ask here.

Anyone have any experience with the King KMC 95 HF transceiver?
I have one, with the service manual. It receives well, the
synthesizer appears to function, but the transmit PA is bypassed,
rendering it a 5 watt radio.

Just curious about any experiences with this radio.
Things such as history, known strengths or weaknesses,
glitches, that sort of thing.

Upcoming project is to start looking closely at the PA, to
figure out why it was bypassed. Basic checks have turned up
nothing obvious.

Thanks in advance
