KW2000 and some BUgliness

Its been a while since I posted anything, I've not been doing much on the ham radio front, messing around with a old FT101B which is just about working now, few minor issues to resolve.

I also got my hands on a non running KW-2000E in good condition, I've just gotten motivated to start giving it a going over, Physically its in nice shape, I hope I can get it running!




British Collins


KW electronics was a British firm that existed in the 60s/70s owned by G8KW


On the British equipment theme next up is a Eddystone bug...... which actually looks like a bug of the beetle variety, pictured with a McElroy S-600 key, also an unusual looking bug, but a very pretty looking key.

  1. Hi, Michael. I've just bought a KW 2000E, without the Power Supply. Do you want to sell the PSU, or the complete set, if you didn't made finally the restoration?
