[Kenwood] TS850-DDSProblems?

This is good.  As long as the DDS chips have been replaced, have no fear 
of an early serial number.  Most of them that I know of had this 
replacement done, somehow, a long time ago and the rigs are fine.  Yes, 
beware the early ones with original chips, but worry not about the 
others :-)
