?  Sounds like the 5kW autotune version.  As I recall, it does not go 
below 2MHz and you need 3-phase mains.  To move it, you need a 
medium-size fork lift.  Drive power is around 0.05w.  Collins autotune is 
said to be a bad dream/nightmare.  .  Extensive mods are needed to use it 
with a ham transceiver.  
 
In any event, it has some wonderful parts, Carsten
