What is the difference between the "winged emblem" Collins radios and the

It's age, and never having had a COllins, I can never remember which came
first.

But, the reason people differentiate is becasue the change of the emblem
is an easy way of determining when the unit was built, and there are
minor design changes that came with the emblem changeover. Again I
can't remember details, but it's on the level of one has plug-in relays
and the other doesn't.

Not true! The plugin relays were very early in the S-line, and were
gone long before the round emblem.

People do not desire Collins equipment with certain types of emblems,
they desire the version of the equipment that comes with the specific
emblem.

Also not true. The later winged emblem models had the same upgrades
as the round emblem.


It is purely a want for the youngest of the units.
