[Kenwood] It is alive!

[Erik Iddings]

Hello all!  My TS520S is alive thanks to the help and advice I got on 
this list.  Don't know if it's dead on freq, but I tuned it up into a 
dummy load and got 150W PEP on 10m.  I put it on a live antenna and 
listened for a bit so I think I've got it sorted out now.  The 
bandswitch and AF gain crackles a bit when you turn it but that's a 
project for another day.  As soon as I get something in the air, I will 
look forward to having a QSO with a few of you.  Gosh the receive sounds 
great!  Can't wait to try transmit now..........

You know, if this had been an old completely solid state rig, I would 
have been sunk.  Surface mount stuff is out of my league and too small 
for me to see.  Long live the hybrids!

73s,
Erik
