[Kenwood] Some questions on the TS-830S

Fri, 16 Aug 2002 22:59:05 +0200

Many thanks to all of you have have answered my mail. I have got great
answers with very useful and excellent information. This reflector is 'top
of the bill'!

In the meantime I have the TS-830S. He is doing a great job. and I found the
YG-455C, YK-88C and YK-88S2. Still searching for the CFJ455K12 now...

We have about 230-235 Volt in our country. With the switch set to 220V the
TS-830S gives 130-140 Watt output. I switched it to 240V and now I have a
very decent 110 Watt.

One more question about the TS-830S:

Pin 8 of the external VFO connector is +12V. Does this have enough current
to feed my SWR/power-meter (Daiwa NS660P with scale light)?

Thanks again and 73!
