   Howdy! Holger,   
      
   Where I wrote VOX in the Reply I sent You I realized VOX was the   
   wrong Title for the Jack on the back of the 32S-1.   
      
   The Officer had the J-38 Key plugged in the PTT Jack.   
   That is why I couldn't send any CW on the rig.   
      
   The older gear that the S-Line replaced was a NC-300 RX,   
   a Central Electronics 100V TX and a Central Electronics 600L RF Amplifier.   
      
   I thought the Officer was dumb to replace that fine set up with the   
   puny Collins S-Line gear.   
      
   But in His room at BOQ (Batchelor Officers Quarters) He showed Me His   
   KWM (-1 or maybe -2, can't remember) XCVR.   
      
   I looked at the prices for the older gear and the newer gear shown in   
   the 1959 Allied Radio Catalog.   
      
   National NC-300 wasn't shown but the NC-303 was $449.95 USD   
   Central Electronics 100V was $595.00 USD   
   Central Electronics 600L was $495.00 USD   
      
   Total value $1539.95 USD   
      
   Collins 32S-1 was $590.00 USD   
   Collins 75S-1 was $495.00 USD   
      
   Total value $1085.00 USD (I didn't figure the cost for a 32S-1 Power Supply)   
      
   Go figure.   
      
   Before the Central Electronics gear was put in the K6NCJ Ham Shack I used   
   a AN/T-350 XM AM/CW TX there.   
      
   Pictures of a T-350 XM being restored are at:
