KW Vespa

The KW Vespa was made by KW Electronics, Dartford in 1966, and was soon superseded in popularity by the KW2000 transceiver series.

Please note: the circuit is a very poor copy, those of you who have seen KW manuals before will know that the circuits were produced using a "Plan Copier", as such they are very difficult to scan. As and when time permits, we will be re-drawing the circuit, in the meantime it is hoped that the present file will be better than nothing.
