So far, the only thing I can see wrong with the 830, besides the need to 
clean the various controls and switches, is the Send/Receive switch on 
the left side.

The send/receive switch snaps into a detent for the RX position, but 
does not have such a detent on the TX position..and activating the TX 
function this way is rather intermittent.

I don't know if the switch is broken, or just so dirty that it doesn't 
move properly.

..good RX sensitivity on all bands, good frequency accuracy and 
tracking, good power output on all bands,  no crazy jumping around of 
the frequency as the VFO dial is moved, good carrier and opposite 
sideband suppression...


There may be other stuff not quite right as I haven't fully checked it 
out after (carefully) powering it up.

June 30, 2013, at 4:42pm AZ time, 19 of the 20 members of the Granite 
Mountain Hotshot Crew (wildland fire fighters) lost their lives fighting 
the Yarnell Hill Fire.

My wife and I made the somber hike into the site where they lost their 
lives.

The place is now a state memorial park accessed via an almost 8 mile 
long trail.

Message-ID: <e38df672-2688-c060-a421-caa96a5b40e3@securespeed.us>

Good morning to the list,

I was wondering if anyone has tried to add a low-Z (nominally 50 ohm) 
8.83 MHz IF output to their TS-440S?

I would like to hook up a Softrock Lite II built to receive in the 8.83 
MHz environs, in order to play with an SDR backend for the 440.

Thanks for any input, and 73,

I was wondering if anyone in the group is a TS940 expert in fixing
said radio.  I have has issues for many years with no RX/TX, and the
display going blank.   It will take many attempts of power-ups to get
her going again.  I have had it fixed twice, but it continues over
time.  Most of my techs have retired, or are to far away.

Any recommendations?  I live in Murphy, NC

Thank you.

 I have for sale the 13 pin DIN jack that fits in the ACC connector on the
back of many Kenwood and Icom radios.  This is used for digital modes
amongst other things, and has a fixed level audio out.  It has wires
attached to each of the pins (much better than soldering them yourself)
which are about 2 or 3 inches long.  It also comes with a male 1/8" stereo
plug, a male 1/4" stereo plug, and a couple of spade fuses.

I am asking $13 shipped and can take paypal/check/MO.

 I have for sale a couple of adapter cables to use a Tigertronics Signalink
or a West Mountain Radio Rigblaster with a Kenwood transceiver.  Both
cables have the RJ45 plug on one end to plug into the Signalink or
Rigblaster.

One cable has the 8 pin round mic connector on the other end, to plug into
the mic jack.

One cable has the 13 pin DIN jack on the other end to plug into the ACC
jack on the TS2000, TS570, TS870 and probably several other Kenwoods as
well.

Each of these sells for around $22 new plus shipping.

I am asking $14 shipped for each one, and can take paypal/check/MO.

Subject: [Kenwood] TS-530S VFO Mechanical Parts Diagram
Message-ID: <000001d41ba9$5cb84470$1628cd50$@psu.edu>

I have purchased a "fixer-upper" radio from HRO that has a VFO mechanical
drive issue.  Without a similar unit to compare parts to, I find that the
unit must be missing parts that allows the analog dial to be adjusted.  Does
anyone have a breakdown of the parts from knob to the spring?  The vernier
action of the drive is perfect, otherwise. 

 

The present sequence is:

 

Knob - Washer - Silver Graduated Dial - Strong Spring - Washer - "Missing
Part[s]" - Nut - Larger Thick Washer - Main Dial - Bronze Washer - Large
Thick Washer - Opaque Dial - Weak Spring - Threaded Shaft.

 

I'd appreciate any info that would help me to reassemble the VFO parts, and
identify the possible missing ones.

 

Thanks, 73.

Kenwood KB-1 Heavy Spinner Knob For Sale:

I have a heavy "spinner knob" available. This may be
the Kenwood KB-1 that is well known as being a great
knob that improves the performance for changing
frequency on many different rigs.

The pictures of the KB-1 that I have found do not show
a skirt with dial markings on it, but this one has one.
FYI, this knob weighs 6.2 oz, and has an outer diameter
of 2 1/4 inches. The original Kenwood tuning knob weighs
only 1.8 ounces and 2 1/8 inches in diameter. Of course
both are made for a 1/4 inch shaft.

The SK who had this primarily had Icom equipment, so
it is quite possible that this is Icom's equivalent of the
Kenwood KB-1.

This one looks like it has not been used.
I find no scratches on it.

These have sold from $97 to $183 on EBay. Buy this one
for $100 plus shipping from Florida.

.
Kenwood MC-50 Desk Microphone:

The Kenwood MC-50 is a dynamic cardoid desk microphone.
It features a push-to-talk [PTT] and lock button. It has a four
pin plug. This mic has connector switched, dual impedance
ratings of 50k ohm and 600k ohm. Frequency response is
from 150 Hz to 10 kHz.

The MC-50 is the perfect match for many of classic Kenwood
transceivers such as the TS-120S, TS-520S, TS-530S, TS-830S,
plus many others. Of course it can be used with most any
modern rig also.

This one works fine. It looks fine as well.
Paper work is included for $55 plus shipping from Florida.
.

.
Thanks.

A special thanks for the help goes to- Steve k7dna and Clif KA5IPF 
-for clearing-up what I thought was a problem with the tuning 
system.  After re-assembling the VFO, and installing it back into the 
rig - I have "zeroed" it and it hits "0" when the digital reads 
"0.0".  With the help of the K4EAA capacitor kit, the B+ 460V has 
gone up to B+ 830V key-down. Sweet!
The rig is in good physical shape for its age; no scratches, chips, 
or cracks. Compressed air and a paint brush took the very-thin layer 
of dust off the boards.  Overall, I believe the rig was 
"original-parts", even the WARC [TOF] disable line was intact!  The 
only non-factory modification was a "Phone-Patch" connection using 
the pre-drilled holes in the unit. A fun restoration, but the best 
part is this rig fits in better with the Collins S-Line stuff around it!
