AW: [Kenwood] First rig with tuner

[HB9PJT - Peter Sidler]

Hello John

The QST/ARRL review for the TS-930 was at January 1984 and for the FT-767GX
at September 1987 (TS-440S is December 1986). www.rigpix.com manufacturing
date TS-930 1982-19xx and FT-767 1986-19xx (TS-440 1986-19xx).

For that I think you are right. The TS-930 was first.

73, Peter - HB9PJT

Maybe someone on the list can answer a question for me.  I was on the
Yahoogroups.com page looking for Yaesu groups today, and found one for the
FT767.  The homepage for the list said that it was the first amateur rig
with a built in autotuner.  Is that correct?  I didn't think it was, I
though the first rig with a built in autotuner was the Kenwood TS930SAT.

Can anyone clear this up for me?  And what is the FT767 like?  One of my
friends just picked one up.
