Could anyone tell me who in the northeast repairs the Kenwood TS 850?  My
house was hit by lightning and my TS 850's audio is not working right,
amongst a few other things.  I need to see if it will be worth fixing.

Yes, he does have a good reputation.

Unfortunately, he's nowhere near the Northeast.

Subject: [Kenwood] TS511 blowing fuses
Message-ID: <CAN0MqBhw8r6ja7UKMWLb1mN8zAoLwU4mL0CQZEcvR3xYK+rQFg@mail.gmail.com>

HI,

I have a TS-511s that keeps blowing power supply fuses.  If I turn the unit
on and leave it in receive mode, it draws about 1 amp.  The draw fluctuates
a bit. after a couple of minutes the current increases to around 2 amps for
a bit and then the power supply fuse blows.

Could this be the C2 and C3 electrolytics in the the 511?  I check one, out
of circuit and the leakage current was low but fluctuating and the power
fact was 60.  I am not sure how to interpret the power factor reading.

Any idea where to find replacements?

I highly suspect the electrolytics in the power supply. I use to have 
one of those rigs. A great unit but also a hybrid of output driver tubes 
and the rest solid state. The unit is old enough to definitely have 
electrolytics going bad. I just got finished with replacing the 
electrolytics in my Johnson Viking Valiant II.

I found the replacements at a very reasonable cost from 
www.tubeaudiosupply.com on Ebay.

Regards,
     Reid, W4UPD

P.S.
Nice transceiver. Wish I still had mine. Nice 500 ssb unit using tv 
sweep tubes in the output. The in country Japanese version was the TS510 
which only ran 100 watts.

Subject: [Kenwood] TS940 Bank Controller II
Message-ID: <3ECE9B90-ED80-4BD6-863B-C9B86902495C@xzapx.com>

I recently replaced the batteries on my TS-940, which is now powering on again without complaint or strange characters on the sub display.

I wanted to check and see if anyone else on the list has a Bank Controller II by IRI (International Radio and Computers, Inc.) so that I can get more information about it.

It appears that this device ALSO has a backup battery installed, which I had not anticipated (bringing the total to 4 coin cells inside the transceiver).  The literature that came with the radio states it allows changing of the memory banks without opening the top lid and throwing the switch, while still permitting use of the voice display readout.  Pressing the button once increments the memory banks as it should, speaking the numbers 1-4 in succession.

Pressing quickly, twice, results in the unit reading the frequency on the display, and then a number indicating memory bank.  This does not function as the instruction sheet suggests, since it also seems to be incrementing the memory bank by one instead of leaving it where it was previously set.  I?m curious if anyone knows whether a bad battery on this unit may be causing this, or if there is another explanation for it.

I?ve reset the TS-940 completely by using the switch on the sub display and the A=B during power-on.  It appears everything else is working properly after my battery replacement aside this aftermarket unit.

Thanks for any information you may have.

Is anyone aware of a good "for dummies" troubleshooting guide for Astron or
just power supplies in general? I would prefer something specific to Astron.

"For dummies" may be taking it a bit far, but step by step would be good.
Symptom/probable cause/probable solution would be best. I have only
repaired one supply in my time and it was pretty straight forward, the
TIP29 was bad and one PASS transistor. So I just replaced all and the TIP29.

Suggestions or links appreciated.

Steve & Roger,

Yes the repeater-builder site is very informative VERY. Forgive me but I
was looking for something just a little more direct. Due to chemo I have
the attention span of a gnat so my other thought on the repeater-builder
article was to make a check list from that article and go through them and
make notes as I go. My point in asking was to see of others had a
different/"better" resource. Not knocking the r-p site, but someone may
have done something similar and not being an experienced PSU repairman I
would like to see other folks take on the process. Even considered watching
some of the many YouTube videos on the subject.

At this point I haven't put it in the bench so to speak. I was told that it
puts out proper voltage but will not provide adequate amperage for the
load, any load. The first thing I found was the power switch is broken so
about to order a few of those from Mouser.

You can also get the switch from ASTRON. I bought several to have them 
on hand. One of the symptoms of a bad switch as the fact it cannot 
provide any load, but shows an output voltage. This is due to the 
current flow for voltage is actually through the neon lamp in the switch.

Another problem could be the LM723 regulator.
