[Kenwood] SM 220 adapter

[Alan Wolke]

rb,

The BS-8 is used for monitoring an 8.83MHz IF, and the BS-5 is used for
monitoring a 3.395MHz IF.  It is basically a front-end of a spectrum
analyzer (sweep oscillator, mixer, detector).  

I haven't seen anyone offering a kit for this purpose.  However, you can
find the adaptors from time to time.  I found one a couple of years ago,
after only a few days of asking around.  You see them for sale every
couple of week, for $75-100 or so.
