APPENDIX A
15 December 1965
MODIFICATION LETTERS (cont' d)
Set modification letters will be assigned for each modification not affecting interchangeability of the sets or equipment
as a whole, except that in some special cases they will be assigned to indicate functional interchangeability and not
necessarily complete electrical and mechanical interchangeability. Modification letters will only be assigned if the
frequency coverage of the unmodified equipment is maintained.
The suffix letters X, Y, and Z will be used only to designate a set or equipment modified by changing the power input
voltage, phase or frequency. X will indicate the first change, Y the second, Z the third, XX the fourth etc., and these
letters will be in addition to other modification letters applicable. (For examples see MIL-STD-196B).
