From af5cc2 at gmail.com Sat Jul 3 16:40:06 2021 From: af5cc2 at gmail.com (John Geiger) Date: Sat, 3 Jul 2021 15:40:06 -0500 Subject: [Kenwood] Kenwood accessories for sale Message-ID: I have the following Kenwood accessories for sale, prices include shipping in the US and I can take paypal/check/MO. Here is what I have available: 1. Kenwood DRU-3A voice recording unit for the Kenwood TS2000, TS870, and TS570 series of radios. This works as a voice keyer, allowing you to record 3 messages for playback so it saves your voice during contests. These are no longer available new. I am asking $110. 2. Kenwood VS-3 voice synthesizer used in the Kenwood TS2000, TS570, TM-V7A and maybe other Kenwood Radios. It will announce the frequency in use and other parameters. I am asking $30. 3. Kenwood MC-43S 8 pin dynamic hand mic used with most Kenwood radios with the 8 pin round mic jack. Asking $30. 4. The N6FN Nifty Mini-Manual for the Kenwood TS2000. This is a 18 page laminated, spiral bound guide for the TS2000 radio, telling about the front panel controls, menu items, how to set it up for satellite use and for other modes, and many other important settings for the radio. Easier then having to dig out the large manual all of the time to make changes to the radio. Asking $12. 73 John AF5CC From af5cc2 at gmail.com Sun Jul 4 14:16:12 2021 From: af5cc2 at gmail.com (John Geiger) Date: Sun, 4 Jul 2021 13:16:12 -0500 Subject: [Kenwood] FS: TS2000 and TS590S operating manuals Message-ID: I have for sale a original Kenwood TS2000 operating manual in very good condition along with the TS2000 schematic diagrams. Also comes with another document showing the Kenwood TS2000 menu setups, and has the plastic sleeve that all of these came in. I am asking $12 shipped. I also have a Kenwood TS590S operating manual which required a little taping on the back cover. This is also the original Kenwood manual. I am asking $9 shipped. I also have the original Kenwood double shipping box with the styrofoam inserts for the TS2000. The box is in good shape overall, there is a little breakage on the top of the inserts, where the manual would sit, but it holds the radio in find. Make an offer on this. I can take paypal/check/MO. 73 John AF5CC From kenw8ek at gmail.com Fri Jul 30 09:39:33 2021 From: kenw8ek at gmail.com (Ken, W8EK) Date: Fri, 30 Jul 2021 09:39:33 -0400 Subject: [Kenwood] Kenwood items FS Message-ID: CW Crystal Filters, Desk Microphone, Headset, 10 meter Crystals, Knob, Amp Cables, Computer Interface, TS-440 Parts, and more For Sale: . InRad CW Filters: Both of these CW filters are 400 Hz wide, striking a good middle ground between 500 or 600 Hz filters, and 250 Hz filters. In addition to CW, these can also be used for narrow digital work. These are InRad filters, which most people consider superior to other filters. These were both used in a Kenwood TS-940, although I am fairly certain that they can be used in most other Kenwood rigs, and probably some non-Kenwood rigs as well. Both work fine, and look great as well. InRad 455 H 400 This one is used in the 455 KHz IF, and of course is 400 Hz wide. $125 InRad 88 H 400 This one is used on the 8800 KHz IF, and is 400 Hz wide as well. $100 Buy both for $215. . CW Filter for Kenwood TS-520: This Seiwa YF-33 HCW was used in a Kenwood TS-520 HF transceiver. It provides a narrow bandwidth (approx 500 Hz) that is helpful on CW, and can also be used for narrow digital modes. This one works as it should, and looks fine. Only $65. . Kenwood MC-50 Desk Microphone: The Kenwood MC-50 is a dynamic cardiod desk microphone. It features a push-to-talk [PTT] and lock button, and has a four pin plug. This mic has connector switched, dual impedance ratings: 50k ohm (at 1000Hz) and 600k ohm (at 1000Hz). Frequency response from 150 Hz to 10 kHz (-6 dB). Although the MC-50 is the perfect match for many of classic Kenwood transceivers such as the TS-120S, TS-520S, TS-820S, etc., it is also great for most any transceiver. The dual impedance makes it a good match for most any rig. This MC-50 works as it should. It looks close to new; I do not find any scratches. With paper work for $90. . Trio/Kenwood HS-5 Communications Headphones: The Trio/Kenwood HS-5 deluxe mono communications headphones are engineered and tuned for radio communications purposes to provide distinctive voice sound (150-4000 Hz -6 dB), and to be very comfortable. Black metal and plastic. 8 Ohms. With 1/4 inch, mono plug and 6.6 foot fancy non-coiled cotton covered cord. Weight is 0.77 lbs. These work as they should, and look close to new. Paper work is included. Amazon sells these for $100, and DX engineering for $82. Buy these for only $60. . Crystals: I have a set of three crystals that are used to return the Kenwood Hybrid rigs to 10 meters, after they have had the original crystals changed to 11 meters. Specifically, they are HC-25 crystals for 33.50, 34.00, and 34.50 MHz. They are labeled as being for the TS-820, but I think all of the hybrids use the same frequencies. These crystals are $35 for the set of three. . Kenwood Heavy Duty Weighted Tuning Knob: This knob is a special tuning knob, about 2 1/4 inches in diameter, so just right for most Kenwood rigs. It is weighted, so one can give it a spin, and it continues to go. This one looks perfect, and is still in its plastic bag. Only $80. . 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. $20 . Kenwood IC-10 computer interface The Kenwood IC-10 is a "Kit" of two ICs plus very, very extensive paper work. The ICs plug into sockets to give you an interface to your computer. Check your manual to see if this is used with your rig. This one appears to be new. Only $15. . Kenwood Charger for TH-225 HT; $10 . BNC Rubber Duck Antenna Original from Kenwood TH-215, about 5 inches long $10 . I have parts for a Kenwood TS-440 available. Hopefully we can keep a couple units working and looking nice using these parts. The complete "back end" is available. This includes the finals and associated PC boards, the large heat sink, the power connector, and other parts on the back of the rig. Both parts of the bottom cover are presently available. They look very nice, and might improve the looks of your rig. A complete set of knobs is available; they look very nice. The small little silver rectangular buttons are still available. The complete final module and heat sink assembly is available. Other internal PC boards are available as well. Most small PC boards, such as squelch/notch/mic, selectivity switch, mic jack, front panel push buttons, etc. are available. The volume control and RF Gain control are both gone. The automatic antenna tuner is NOT available. Please let me know what you need. . I also have many other accessories available such as many different types of microphones, HTs, VHF and UHF rigs, HF and VHF/UHF antennas, connectors, miscellaneous accessories, etc. Just too many to list here. Please e-mail your requests. . Prices do not include shipping from Florida. Thanks. 73, Ken, W8EK Ken Simpson E-mail to W8EK at FLHam.net or W8EK at arrl.net Voice Phone (352) 732-8400 . .
