[Kenwood] TS-830S age

[Mike McCarthy, W1NR]

There was no "8" series in the Kenwood line for most of the 1980's.
There
was the 430/930 then the 440/940 and then came the 850/950.

I have a letter from Hoosier Electronics dated February of 1981, telling
me
that they acknowledged my order but would not be able to ship for
several
weeks as they were awaiting a shipment from Kenwood.  As I recall, I
paid
$818 for the TS-830S in March or April of 1981.  I don't think the 830
went
out of production in 1981.  The 850 replaced it, and I don't think the
850
showed up until 1990 or 1991.

Hi Larry,

         That's wrong----I bought a brand new one in November 1980, and
had
to wait about 8 weeks for delivery because the dealer that I bought it
from
(Derrick Electronics) had not yet gotten delivery of his first one. If I
remember correctly, I paid about 1100.00 for the radio, the SP-230
speaker,
and the VFO-230 remote VFO. I sold everything on Ebay about 3 years ago,
and got over $800 for the 3 pieces.
