[Kenwood] 6146 finals questioin

[Peter A Markavage]

The 6146B's are almost, if not identical, to the original S2001's used in
the T-599 and others. If the rig used S2001's, 6146B's will work fine.
However, if you have a pair of 6146W's, I believe manufactured after 64,
they are equivalent to the 6146B's. Going further, a pair of 6146W's
manufactured before this date, a pair of 6146A's, or a pair of 6146's
will also work with slightly less output. Don't mix from different pairs.
For more info on almost everything you would ever want to know about 
6146', go to the following web site:
