[Kenwood] Best Kenwood HF rig

[Alfred Carlson]

I have a set of 599D's with the vhf converters and they're okay.  I had 
an 850 and upgraded to a IC-765.  Thee 850 was okay.  The best all round 
KW rig that I ever owned was the TS-520S with a 500hz cw filter.  Yes, 
there are probably better rigs now but back then, it was the 520S, king 
for cw, the KW battleship, able to accept all the options.  I still have 
a like new one and always will.  Fred...
Present KW inventory:
TS-520
R599D/T599D
TS-130s and TS-130v
TS-940SAT
TS-830s, complete station
TS-711A
All very good stuff.
