For what it's worth, I suspect those very long 'safe links' carry a lot of DNA.  But then, I'm not part of the digerati, so what do I know..?

No, they're not.

The first rumors I can remember started around the late 80's right after they discontinued the TS-830S.
Since then, they pop up every couple of years. 
Kenwood doesn't pop out several new products each year like Icom and Yaesu. 
They milk each product to the last drop. 
Obviously it perks the amateur radio intelligence when they don't see new products flowing out of Kenwood each year.

For lots of fun and giggles about this ever enduring rumor, review the three  threads below. You can also go to QRZ.com and search for some of the earlier threads on the same subject.
With these two links below being long, they will probably wrap to the second line. Copy and paste the entire string. If it doesn't work, it probably means after copying and pasting, there is a blank space between two characters. The entire string should have no blank spaces between any of the characters.
