[Kenwood] Help with serial #...

[Bob]

The ARRL product review of the TS870S was done in the February 1996 QST. 
The review unit they used had a 70 million serial number.  ARRL product 
reviews come out in a very timely manner after new models are introduced. 
So, I would I tend to say the 50 million unit is probably of 2003 vintage.

Just my two cents.
