[Kenwood] rig rumors?

[peter A Markavage]

Heck, why not bring back the TS-830, TS-520, and all their mods, add some
DSP, etc. etc. and it would sell. And probably, like the TS-850, the
simplest answer is that it's old technology. It makes no sense for R&D
people to step back and use old technology after they spent many dollars
to develop with new technology.
