[SixClub] FS: Kenwood TS-60s 6 meter radio - QRZ Forums

[John Geiger]

The TS690 is a sleeper among HF/6m rigs.  An internal tuner that will match anything you throw at it, cascaded filters at 2 IFs, great receiver, very nice to look at.  If it had an internal keyer and a little more power on 6m (it does 50 watts) it would be close to perfect.
