Introduced in 1956, the Collins KWM-1 transceiver was a breakthrough product that featured a 100 watt single-sideband transmitter and receiver in one compact package. The U-2 spy plane piloted by Francis Gary Powers, which was shot down over the Soviet Union on May 1, 1960, carried a KWM-1 operating on a secret CIA frequency. The KWM-1 led to the eventual demise of separate receivers and transmitters in ssb shortwave communications.
It would be interesting to find out if Collins Radio was providing technology for the Radar systems at Atsugi base. Could it be possible that the CIA sent Oswald to be trained by Collins Radio in electronics before he defected to Russia?
