[Kenwood] RE: Kenwood 530S - works well except 10meters

That was all it took. I hosed down all the switch sections with =
Tun-o-wash and cranked the switch for a couple of minutes and now I have =
all the bands working just fine.

I've been making DX contacts with it on 10 meters all day!.

Thanks to all!

Hi Bill,

    With tubes one can expect maybe 80 to 90%  of the power output at =
say 80 meters when you are on 10 meters. In your case, my suggestion is =
to first spray the whole band switch with Deoxit 5 and rotate the =
bandswitch 12 turns clockwise and then 12 turns  counterwise.  Then try =
again.

    The higher frequencies are more sensitive to dirty contacts.=20


                                                                  =
73--Joe--W1PNH=20
