Kenwood AT-250 Automatic HF Antenna Tuner:

The Kenwood AT-250 is much more than an antenna tuner.
It also has a four position antenna switch, plus a peak
reading wattmeter.

The Kenwood AT-250 automatic antenna tuner covers the
HF ham bands from 160 through 10 meters including the
WARC bands. It has an AC power supply built in, or can be
used on 13.8V DC.

The built-in SWR/Power meter indicates peak power on SSB,
average power in other modes and does not require calibration
adjustment (has automatic calibration).

Four separate sets of antenna terminals are provided.
Maximum power is 100 Watts (200 W PEP).
Maximum tuning time is 15 seconds.

The AT-250 is a great match for the Kenwood TS-130, TS-140,
TS-430, and TS-440. If used with the TS-430, it is completely
automatic, including band selection.

This one works fine. With paper work for $200.

Kenwood 4 pin hand microphone:

This mic has no number on it, but is like the mic used
on the TS-700, TR-7400, and other rigs of this era.
It is relatively small, so it fits nice in your palm.

It should work with most any Kenwood rig needing
a 4 pin connector.

This one works fine and looks great. $30

Microphone adapter:
This adapter will adapt the mic above, or any mic
wired with the Kenwood 4 pin connector, and convert

Kenwood YK-88 S Crystal Filter:

This is a "solder in" type filter used on rigs such as the
TS-120, TS-130, TS-430, TS-440, and others of this era.
It is 2.4 KHz wide and used for SSB.

Fox Tango (Inrad) Crystal Filters:
.
.
Both of these filters were originally used in a Kenwood
TS-430 transceiver, in the 8.8 MHz IF, however, they can
be used in other Kenwood rigs such as the TS-440, TS-180,
TS-711, TS-811, and most any other Kenwood rig that uses
the solder in YK-88 type filters.

Fox Tango (Inrad) YF-88H6.0 Crystal Filter
This filter is 6.0 MHz wide, and is normally used for wide,
naturally sounding AM. Center frequency is 8831.5 MHz.
It is equivalent to a Kenwood YK-88 A. $95

Fox Tango (Inrad) YF-88H2.1 Crystal Filter
This filter is 2.1 KHz wide and is usually used on SSB to
give very sharp skirts. Center frequency is 8830 KHz.
It is equivalent to a Kenwood YK-88 S, but with slightly
less bandwidth, and with steeper skirts. $75

Gap "Hear It" Speaker:

The Gap "Hear It" is a compact speaker with digital
signal processing to reduce or eliminate noise. This
speaker greatly improves signal to noise ratio and
speech clarity. It can be used for AM, FM or SSB
voice signals. This innovative product was developed
in England and is available now in the USA.

A front mounted bi-color LED lets you know when the
speaker is drawing power (red) and when it is processing
(green).

The rear panel features a control used to set the eight
levels of noise cancelling. It also has the DC input jack
for the required 12-28 VDC @500 mA. A 6 foot audio lead
is included (3.5 mm mini mono plug). This device comes
with a 4 foot fused DC power cable. Or you can purchase a
"Wall Wart" for operation from AC.

It uses a convenient "Gimble Mount".

This one works fine and looks like new.  These sell for
about $170 new.  Buy this one for only $110.

Kenwood SP-430 Speaker:

The Kenwood SP-430 external speaker provides low
distortion, clear sound and high intelligibility in all
modes. It is in an all metal cabinet. The rear panel
has two screw terminal for an 8 ohms input. There
is a snap-out riser bar that will slightly slant the
speaker upwards if desired.

The SP-430 matches the TS-430, TS-440, TS-711,
TS-811, and others.

It physical size is 5 x 4 x 9.5 inches.

This one works fine.  It looks good.

Kenwood FM-430, FM unit:

The Kenwood FM-430 is a optional add on unit that
permits the Kenwood TS-430 HF transceiver to operate
in the FM mode. It is ideal to use on 10 meter FM.

This unit works fine. It includes the four cables
that are needed to interface it with the TS-430
transceiver, plus the 6 mounting screws.

It also includes installation instructions for only $35.
.

.
Kenwood TSU-6 CTCSS Tone Encoder/Decoder:

Many transceivers, both mobile and HTs, either have
no subaudible CTCSS PL tones in them, or they may
have an encoder only.

If you need both encode and decode, it may be that
you need the TSU-6, depending on your rig.

The TSU-6 is made to work with the TH-25, TH-45, and
TH-55 series HTs and probably others. It also works
with the TM-231, TM-701, TM-702, TM-721, TM-731 and
likely other mobile rigs.

This one works fine. Since it installs internally,
cosmetics is a non-issue.

Buy this unit for $43.

Kenwood Power Cables

Power Cable with 6 pin Molex plug on one end as used by most
HF rigs, and many others, and stripped/tinned ends on the
other end. Very good condition.  $22

Kenwood PG-2 N
This is the power cable that has a "T" connector on one end
as is used with most 2 meter, 440 MHz and dual band rigs.

Linear Amp Switching Cables for Kenwood Rigs:

This cable goes from a Kenwood transceiver to a linear
amplifier to switch the amp from transmit to receive.

One end has a DIN connector, as is used with most Kenwood
rigs. The other end has an RCA phono plug, as used by most
linear amplifiers.

Before using this cable, please check the switching
capabilities of your transceiver, and the requirements
of your amplifier.

Cable for switching the T/R relay Only $15.

Cable as above, but with ALC line in addition to T/R
switching.
