[Kenwood] For Sale

[GALE STEWARD via Kenwood]

Too many radios! Need to thin the herd.


Mint Kenwood TS-830S with matching VFO-240 external VFO. I bought these units new and have the original boxes, operating and service manuals, a collection of TS-830S notes and mods, some spare tubes, and plastic dust covers for both units.

This radio has been modified (by me) for increased performance. I was never a fan of the (wide) 2.7 khz Kenwood stock SSB filters. I purchased a pair of INRAD 2.1 khz filters and did a custom install of them in the radio. The INRAD filters are larger in size from the stock Kenwood filters so this required a custom installation.

I also built a custom PC board with relay switching to allow me to install a second I.F. 250 hz CW filter to complement the pair of Kenwood 500 hz filters. This allows you to select between 500/500hz or 500/250 hz filter pairs. The 500/250 hz filter pair is extremely useful on the low bands. 

This radio is in mint condition and all functions work perfectly. 100+ watts output on all nine bands. 

I really hate to let this radio go as it has always been a favorite of mine but with all of the vintage Drake radios here, plus my other Kenwood radios, I really need to clear things out a bit.

The radio & VFO are set up and operating. You can come to my QTH and give it a test drive. I prefer not to ship this radio as I've seen some mint radios ruined in shipping. Pick up or I can deliver in the area of 18951

Price is $450
