Be NICE to MARS folks,
Jimmie, maybe they'll GIVE you an AN/FRC-93 for
nothing; it's a Collins KWM2 Commercial transceiver
with a military nameplate.


Don't want one. And it's a KWM-2A, with the extra crystal positions.


It certainly is the KWM-2A.

Nearly a year ago, Len told us:

"The exception was the procurement
of the AN/FRC-93 HF transceiver, the commercial version (full
crystal bank) of the Collins KWM2. [I have the TM on it and can tell
where to get it for free PDF download...even for Canadians... :-) ] "

The commercial version of the Collins KWM-2A is the Collins KWM-2A.
I have a government surplus unit. It has no military nameplate
identifying it as an AN/FRC-93. The units I used in Vietnam had no
military nameplates identifying them as AN/FRC-93 units. The manuals we
had on hand were Collins KWM-2A manuals.
