Re: TRIO ends the repair services for some ancient radios
|
Dear Hiro-san, I'm just a new ham radio operator, but even for me Kenwood(TRIO) is a legendary ham radio brand. This kind of engineering spirit lives in their products and service.? Recently purchased TH-D75 and yes.... for the price I could have bough many, ....many,... other HT's.... but I don't like to have so many others, but just the one Kenwood.
When it comes to CW: there must be this special spirit too. Many of the operators I hear report TRX TS-XYZ...? Not sure what Kenwood transceivers make special, or why my impression is to hear many good CW operators on Kenwood?
Personally, don't have yet the budget for a Kenwood HF Radio. As new operator got used to modern Waterfall etc. ... so hope Kenwood will release a new HF radio ...

TRIO, former name of KENWOOD, will end their repair services for old radio products by the end of this year.
Unlike other HAM product companies, KENWOOD Japan has been accepting old radio repairs such as TS-520 with an initial inspection fee of Y10,000.
But it will end in this December 2024.
I got my TS-520X almost 50 years ago and KENWOOD has been supporting so far and also it was fun to talk with KENWOOD's old engineers actually.
Here, I am waiting for the next flagship radio after TS-990, with the TRIO label, hoping named with "520". hihi
