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.
Well there ya go!
Everybody ought to run right over to LOGSA (that
stands for LOGistical Supply Agency) and tell them...
THE AN/FRC-93 DOESN'T EXIST!
I'd be interested in learning where in Dave's post he said it
didn't exist.
I only saw where he said the KWM-2A didn't have a name plate with
that nomenclature on it.
I used KWM-2A's at NNN0MOQ, MOF and at "NZJ". No AN/FRC-93 plates
on them either.
Just stock KWM-2A's with Stock Collins operator and repair
manuals. (We did our own repairs at MOF.) (plus cryastals)
Oh, yeah, and TMs are now also distributed on CDs to
all branches of the military. Saves space and paper
plus the weight on shipping the printed versions.
All the branches have computers now, even stuff in
the field. Those computers have "AN" numbers and
"NSNs" also but I don't DARE write them in here due
to the hostile environment presented by die-hard
PCTAs. Those can't exist if Davie says they don't
exist!
He never said "they don't exist".
I haven't seen him say "they didn't exist".
He just said they didn't have a nameplate with that nomenclature.
Of course YOU wouldn't know since YOU weren't there to see it for
yourself. Again, Lennie making accusations without practical
experience to back it up. You DIDN'T SERVE when/where he did.
Nor where I did, for than matter.
Temper fry...
Putz.
