[Kenwood] Need TS-520 history

[Dave Edwards]

Well, the 10 most famous, or 15 most famous...and obviously a lot more great 
rigs would surface.  But then it becomes more of a list of rigs. The only 
thing I would change is perhaps swapping out the SB102 for the HW101. Its 
debatable....same rig, but I think the SB102 was more famous for having 
popped up as a result of the KWM2.
The others.....I have to agree on the list just as it is!!  The 520 being 
borderline "tube-era"

Mike,

I'd be hard-pressed to limit the number to four. The Collins S-Line can be 
used as a transceiver as well as separates; I believe the Drake Twins could 
operate that way, too. Heath's SB-102 outshone the HW-101; the relatively 
gutless Swan 350 was a hot item in its day; the Kenwood Twins - the R-599 
and T-599 - could transceive and I'm sure there are more.

Good luck with your venture!

73,

Ahoy!  I'm writing up a little paper for my radio club on what I believe
are the four most famous transceivers of the tube era.  One of these has
to be the TS-520 (series).  I have information on the genesis of the
other three (KWM-2, TR-4, HW-101), but am lacking info on the 520.  If
you have information that might help me, please send or point me to the
site.

Thanks & 73,
