Now there you go starting yet another discussion over which is better :>)

Ostensibly they were all manufactured to the Mil Spec I believe was created
by Collins and therefore should all be the same except for mods etc. There
is however, a significant difference in the A vs non A in that the A was the
result of some serious cost reduction efforts that replaced the filters with
crystal filters among other things which resulted in much sharper skirts.
The argument over which is "better" will go on as long as there are both
version but I think most in this list will agree that there is a "softer"
sound to the non-A.  If you listen to AM broadcasts, the non-A might be a
better choice...
