Hello Wesley,

I access the ts-440 groups by clicking onto the 'more' tab and then clicking on 'GROUPS'. That should bring up all that you are a part of. Scroll down to the ts-440 group. Click on show all, after the name. You can do a search using the search field higher up on the page. Hope this helps.
1. I use an old Heathkit speaker model HS-1661 because I had it. Works great. I'm not familiar with the ones you mention. In my opinion for me I want one that has enough lows and highs. Basically try a couple and tune in qso's and determine which sounding speaker you like. Which one gives you the easiest and comfortable audio to let you hear the signals in the noise the best.
2. I happen to have a MC-60 mic with a Heil HC-4 cartridge. It works real well. I always get good audio reports. The problem is that Heil doesn't make the HC-4 any longer but I think the HC-5 replaces it. You'll have to research and verify this. I haven't tried it on AM so I can't comment about it for this mode, just SSB.
3. It's been a long time since I did anything with the filters so I googled 'ts-440 filter installation' and allot comes up. It's easy enough that you should be able to do this yourself! If you have the owners manual, check pages 27 & 28 on how to do it. If you don't have the manual, you can find it free on line.
Hope this helps.

AC/DC Operation

This unit looks good. It transmits in all modes, but I am
90% sure someone took a "golden screwdriver" to it.  The
power output is in the 18 to 20 watt range instead of 11
to 12 as it should be.  This indicates some one has "tweaked"
it.  The frequency that it transmits and receives on is
not the same as indicated. Basically, I think it needs a
complete, accurate alignment, and then it would be great.

With paper work and 110 V AC power cord for $130.
The DC power cord is not included.

power cords, cables, etc. are also available.

Message-ID: <CAPvWwfrDN+aCjiv0KqhG4jm4v-bvD1wmEjh95eo2KAVircqsLw@mail.gmail.com>

In a previous QSO (E-Mail), I stated the problem with my Kenwood TS-520 was
with a key-up problem. You had suggested changing the 6146's, that did no
good. With the "Heater Switch" turned off (so that there is practically no
RF output, when you key the microphone and release it, the transmitter
stays keyed up. You have to turn Main power off, and then back on, for it
to return to receive. I feel like it has something to do with the relay,
but not sure what it could be. In trying to resolve the problem, I lifted
and moved the frequency display from on top of the transmitter, and it
worked for a few seconds, and then went back to the same old problem. Even
though the VOX Switch is off, I turned down the Vox Sen., Delay, with still
no improvement. Any other possible thoughts ???   Jim   WA5WRE
