[Kenwood] difference between ts-440 and ts-450

Wed, 3 Dec 2003 19:53:28 -0600

The 440 has a hot receive on it, and with the right filters its a good
radio, but on the 440, be careful when buying and ask if the VCO's have ever
been repaired.

I had a 440 that VCO #1 went out and thought my problem was solved and just
a little over a year later, VCO #5 went out.

1st repair was $235.00...And I have yet to send the radio in to repair the
other VCO that went bad.

on the 450, thats the radio I'll get when I get my 440 fixed, then I
hopefully won't have the problems I had with the 440.

Just my opinion.
