[Kenwood] What's the major differences between TS520 and TS820?

[John Luthy]

Thanks Bill.

Maybe I should have signed my reply.....


I might be wrong but I don't know!!

Oddly, on rigpix the pic of the 820,
http://www.rigpix.com/kenwood/ts820.htm  if I look closley at the
model it looks like it says 820S but it looks differnt the the pic of
the 820S  http://www.rigpix.com/kenwood/ts820s.htm  .

But I see that I am wrong about the warc band thing.

probably comes from having 2 520's and 1 520S  and not having a 820!!

> TS820 8 band with warc (This is Incorrect - the TS-820 had 160
meters standard but no WARC. Many TS-820 radios were modified to work
the WARC bands, however. The TS-830S added the WARC bands as well as
other changes.)

readout. It is rare but you do see TS-820 radios here and there - most
of them are the TS-820S model, however. Oddly, when the TS-520S
sometime after the TS-520, it had 160 meters added - thus the
confusion with the suffix on the TS-820 model.
