[Kenwood] ts 830s

[rbethman]

This is NOT *blind* advice.

I went into my archives and looked at the TS-830S service manual.

This is one of the Kenwood Hydbrids - as is the TS-900, TS-520, TS-530, 
& TS-820.   They all have a tube driver, and tube finals.  Their T/R 
relay has one pair of contacts going to an RCA phono jack on the rear.

This is for keying the amplifier.  The pair is NO on Rx, and NC on Tx. 
They were intended for the amplifiers of their time.

Had this NOT been correct, I would already have posted such. Since Ray 
was *indeed* correct, saw NO need to make additional post.
