Sharp skirts, excellent shape factor, legendary Collins quality. Perfect original replacement or upgrade for S-Line equipment. Rare New Old Stock in excellent condition.
Compatible Radios and UsesThis is a standard SSB mechanical filter (2.1 kHz bandwidth) used in Collins S-Line equipment, specifically the factory standard filter for the 75S-3B and 75S-3C receivers. It was also used in the KWM-2A transceiver and some military/commercial Collins gear (e.g., AN/URC-58).
It is compatible with other 455 kHz IF Collins radios (S-Line series, 32S transmitters, etc.) as a replacement or additional filter position. Enthusiasts also adapt FA-series filters into other vintage receivers (e.g., certain Hammarlund models or homebrew projects) for improved SSB selectivity.
