[Kenwood] Recommendations for 2nd HF rig

Fri, 28 Jun 2002 15:46:31 -0700

 I have a TS140S, and find a few details that could be better.
 First, M.CH/VFO CH switch tends to be a problem. This is a known problem
with many of them, including mine.
 Second, tends to overload with a strong signal nearby.
 Third, selectivity leaves a bit to be desired, though IF Shift helps
sometimes.
 Fourth, meter hangs in mid range at times. I don't know what causes this,
and only cure seems to be turning off unit for a moment.
 Vox is not as good as it could be. I had a heath HW101 that had a far
better vox IMO.
