[Kenwood] Backup rig - advice requested.

[Bill Kuhn]

My TS-530S is my standby rig.
 
Full power, WARC bands, digital freq display, lousy SWR tolerance, and always excellent TX and audio reports.

Subject: [Kenwood] Backup rig - advice requested.



I am tentatively looking for an HF backup rig for my TS-940SAT. I am
considering some of the older Kenwood transceivers such as the TS-
820S, and others.

I would appreciate learning what the members of this list would
consider to be the most reliable of those older transceivers.

I am NOT particularly interested in all the "bells and whistles" as I
am not going to use this for contesting. Most of my ham radio work is
on CW and/or some digitail, primarily for traffic-handling.

What I would like to aquire is a simple, reliable, 100 watts or so
output transceiver, although I would like to have digital readout.

12 VDC capability would be a bonus, but is not absolutely necessary.

I am experienced at repairing almost any piece of equipment, although
simpler would require less time for such repairs.
