[Kenwood] TS-830S age

[brad.mugleston at comcast.net]

Per the product review of May 1981 in QST the TS-830S just came 
out but they had one to review.  Don't know what the lag time is 
between one sent to QST for reveiw and when it actually gets 
printed but I'd say the TS-830S came out spring '81.

Can't say much else but I love mine.
