[Kenwood] TS-120S inquiry

Mike:

I had a 120 sveral years ago and it was a great rig.  Receiver was hot and
the transmitter was right on the money as well.  I did have to do some work
on the transmitter, e.g., placing star washers between each circuit board
and the chassis to assure each was properly grounded, but once that happened
everything operated beautifully.  I did operate it mobile as well as in the
shack with equal success.

Good Luck es 73's
