[R-390] Amazing Collins Facts

[Larry WA9VRH]

Hi Perrier,

I do not dispute what you are saying about the comments that the person
trying to hock this stuff.

But however if you will search on ART-13 you will find the Collins did
indeed save a number of lives during WWII. The autotune of the ART-13 did
give a number of frequencies to our pilots. They were also easy to reprogram
before the next flight to screw up what the enemy had for the last settings.
If you ever get a chance to watch the autotune it is amazing. I have a
couple of ART-13's and it sounds like something thrashing grain but it comes
back to the correct frequency.

However I am a bit prejudice!
