[Kenwood] Tough Kenwood rigs

[John G.]

Hi Pete,

I had a set of Kenwood 599 twins myself.  Loved them, and would like to get 
another set sometime when I have the space and money for them.  Would really 
like a TS830 also, as I have heard lots of good things about them.  Wouldn't 
miss AM if I had an S model.
