[Kenwood] TS-830S Digital Display Fault

[Wa9mxq@cs.com]

Don't know for sure how my CompuServe account is going to do on this 
(impossible to correct HTML attachment problems with CompuServe and AOL). 
Your problem with the TS-830S is common as far as I have seen. I have 
experienced it in a TS-830S and a TS-530SP that were in storage. In both of 
my cases I had to find what connector in the digital readout board was not 
making good contact. I cleaned all connector pins with De-Ox-It. In the case 
of the TS-830S, I also found bad solder joints on the circuit board. When all 
of that was corrected the problem went away and has not returned.
