[Kenwood] Tough Kenwood rigs

[rbethman]

I own a TS-930SAT.  I am the second owner.   It is very clean, and you 
could never tell that it was owned by anyone.  I just keep on running 
it, and wouldn't give it up for the latest "Whiz Bang" with all the 
bells and whistles!

I have applied ALL the Service Bulletins.

I also replaced the "El Cheapo" PS fan with a 12VDC ball bearing 
[Computer CPU Cooler], one that draws HALF the current than the factory 
one.  (MY service bulletin!)

Runs just great!

One thing NOT covered in ANY Service Bulletin, regards the ATU section.  
I lubricated the bushings with a Teflon lubricant, and tightened the 
tiny allen locking setscrews.  This made it a lot better in operation.

BTW - Cliff is a darn good person!  He knows these beasties inside and out!

I have NO financial interests!  I get NOTHING for a "plug".  I know from 
asking him questions just how well he KNOWS Kenwoods!
