Kenwood TS-940S/AT HF Transceiver:

Most of you probably know what a TS-940 is,
but here is information just in case.

The Kenwood TS-940S is a serious radio
for the serious operator. Superb interference
reduction circuits and high dynamic range
receiver combine with superior transmitter
design to get your signal through. This all
mode transceiver covers 160 to 10 meters
with a general coverage receiver. It operates
250 W PEP input on USB, LSB, CW, FM and
FSK and 140W DC input on AM.

Other refinements include SSB slope tuning,
CW VBT (variable bandwidth tuning), IF Notch,
Audio Filter, Dual Mode NB, All-mode Squelch,
RF Attenuator, Switchable AGC (Off/Fast/Slow),
Full QSK, Speech Processor, Dual digital VFOs,
40 memories, Scan, Keyboard Frequency entry,
large fluorescent display and LCD Sub-display.

Features:
160-10 meters
IF Notch
CW Reverse
40 Memories
Automatic Antenna Tuner
CW VBT
SSB Slope Tuning
Memory Keyer
Variable AGC
Sub-display

This particular unit looks very close to new.
I do not find any scratches, dents, or dings.
You will be very impressed!

It receives fine, and has about 115 Watts out,
even on the 10 meter band.

It does have a couple quirks, however.
It has the automatic antenna tuner installed.
However the red "Tuning" LED never comes on.
All of my antennas are resonant, and I would
only use an antenna tuner to go from 80 m CW
to 75 m SSB, so it is of no consequence.

The meter works fine on receive indicating
receive signal strength properly.  It does not
work on transmit, however.  I use an external
wattmeter/SWR bridge, so it doesn't matter to me.

Whether these quirks matter to you, depends
on your operating style.

Buy this unit for only $500.  It is very heavy,
which means shipping would be expensive.
Pickup near Ocala FL is much preferred.
Obviously, shipping is not included in the
$500 price.

Kenwood PS-430 Power Supply:

The Kenwood PS-430 power supply provides
13.8 VDC at 20 Amps intermittent. Ripple
voltage is less than 20 mV at 13.8 VDC and
15 A. Input is 120/220/240 VAC.

This is a linear power supply, so no need to
worry about noise from a switching supply.

The rear panel has a hardwired Kenwood
power cable (6 pin molex connector) to connect
directly to the TS-120/130/140/430/440/450
and others. Actually it will work fine with any
rig that uses the 6 pin molex plug, including
Icom and Yaesu and others.

There are also "plus" and "minus" terminal
outputs (10 Amps max) on the back, useful for
a VHf/UHF rig.

A snap-down tilt bail is on the bottom panel
to increase the operating angle.
6.8 x 3.75 x 9.675 inches 15.4 lbs.

This one works like it should, with great output.

With paper work for $100.

Kenwood MB-430 Mobile Bracket:

The Kenwood MB-430 is the mobile bracket
that is used to mount the Kenwood TS-430,
TS-440, TS-450, R-5000 and maybe others.

This one is in nice shape and includes
the four screws (and washers) for attaching
it to the rig.

These are no longer made and are somewhat
rare.

Buy this one for $45.

.

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 with ALC control, in addition to T/R switching. $20

.


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.
