[Kenwood] TS850S ...could you help me how old?

Sun, 21 Dec 2003 13:14:59 -0600

My 850 also starts with the numbers 308, but has 5 more digits after that,
making a total of eight digits, not seven.  So the scheme below does not
fit.

Any ideas on where they started numbering, and how far they got?

Thanks and 73,
