![]() - Tranceiver KENWOOD TS-430S - I bought this transceiver used from a radio-friend back in the '27MHz days' - The radio suffered from over-heating in the HF-Final stage. Many years of over-heated usage had made almost al electrical wiring inside to brake down. I spent many nights with the soldering-iron to replace many 'crispy' wires. Also had problems with the mode 'jumping' thing, read about a mod for this problem and solved it. Finally, this is by fare the most trouble bringing rig that has entered my shack ewer! I had the radio for some time, finaly it got some problems with the modulation, and i dumped it to another radio-friend who has mutch more knowledge and nerves to deal with it. I think he is still using it on the bands. On occasions when the radio actually worked, the performance was quite nice! So mainly the problems i had with it might be random with the single one that i had. (Note the display readout!) Next radio used on 'FreeBand' was: 'Kenwood TS-140', 'ICOM IC-751A', 'Yaesu FT-757', 'Kenwood TS-430S' ![]() - Documentation - - Technical data - FACTORY SPECIFICATIONS ======================================== Transmitter: Frequency coverage..1.8--30Mhz Output power........110W SSB/CW/FM - 40W AM Receiver: Frequency coverage..0.5--30Mhz Sensitivity(Preamp).Less than 0.25uV/10dB S/N (Within range 1.6-30Mhz SSB Mode) General: Dimensions..........270(W)x 96(H)x 270(D)mm Weight..............6.1 Kg Microphone..........Original Handheld Manufactory.........TRIO KENWOOD CORPORATION, Japan Shionogai Shibuya Building 17-5 2-chome Shibuya, Shibuya-ku Tokyo 150, JAPAN<-- Go Back! ![]() ©1999/2000/2001/2002 SM2YER Goran |
