[Boatanchors] [Kenwood] Kenwood TS-530SP

[howard holden]

Thanks again Steve! I've been "bitten" many times over my 63 years at this game. Keeping a record of what you write. I'll get to this stuff later today maybe.

I have bought (2) plain 530's and an 830 back from the grave
for radios of my own.

I would add also check the small rectifier board near the power xfmr
and replace the (2) 56K resistors, they usually drift and cause Tx problems
at some point.
There is also a 330K resistor on that board which can sometimes open, its
the bleeder for the 300V
to the driver tube, and if you happen to have fingers near the bandswitch
that connects to that
line, you will get bit...ask me how I know.

I usually replace all the resistors on that board while I am in there.
