There's not a lot on the web re: KWM-380 except for sales. I recall
little about it except that it was very expensive for the time. I think
the KWM-2 went for about $1,500 new? in the 60's, that would be about
$15,000 in today's money, although it wouldn't be an attractive
transceiver in today' world. But, a -380 was a pretty hot radio in
those days.

Back in the late 70s or early 80's, when I was a teenager and a
"lowly" Technician, one of my teenager Technician friends won a
KWM-380 at the Cedar Rapids hamfest. The old-timers were not amused.
I'd have preferred to win the radio, but barring that, seeing the
reaction of those old guys to a teenager Tech winning that KWM-380 was
pretty priceless. Of course, now I am one of those old guys...
