Good morning, I'm new to the group so checking to make sure I have my settings correct. 73 from North Carolina. Bob W4JFA

I'm Richard, KE5JKJ, and new to the group. I can't get my TH-F6A to scan at all. Instructions are clear: VFO, BAND, VFO (1 S). VFO just beeps once but no scan.

Just an FYI, I used the full all memory bank scan for a few years before I learned how to just scan one memory bank. Made life a lot nicer. Tim KC1TWR

I really like the radio, but the display screen is barely readable in daylight. I'm wondering if this is normal for the radio or if I have a repair option? Tnx and 73. de AL7MH.

Kenwood Crystal Filter, mobile bracket, Extension Feet, Amplifier cables, and more For Sale: . Kenwood YK-88 SN Crystal Filter: This filter is used in rigs such as the TS-430, TS-440, and others. It is the solder in type. It works fine. It looks fine also, as if that matters for a filter inside the rig. Kenwood YK-88 SN, 1800 Hz SSB Filter This is the narrow SSB filter, that can also be used for wide CW. - $79 . 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 . Kenwood Extension Feet: This is a set of extension feet for most Kenwood rigs. This set came from a TS-520, but can be used on most any rig that has round front feet. These are inserted between the original foot and the bottom panel of the rig, to raise the front about 3/4 inch. These include the hardware, and work fine. They look great also. $15 for the pair . 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. 73, Ken, W8EK Ken Simpson E-mail to W8EK@... or W8EK@... Voice Phone (352) 732-8400 .

This service manual by Kenwood shows typical faults and servicing aid to many vintage rigs. It was downloaded from Kenwood Italy. No longer available on their website.

Thanks everyone for the replies. (I posted in a few groups so you may not have seen any discussion.) I asked the seller for more information on the eBay item and after getting his reply, I ordered one.

The solder will make the wire brittle and it will break over time. Proper crimping is much better and is the professional choice for reliability as well as faster application. Apparently NASA and other sources say not to solder these where you crimp them, though there is plenty of disagreement on this, too. I have ordered a good crimping tool that is made for crimping these. Now I have a question about making the pigtail. Kenwood used two Molex pins to handle the current (it's a bit much for a single pin to handle). The Powerpole connectors handle 30 amps or more. I will be needing to merge two wires from the two Molex pins for each polarity into a single connection on the Powerpoles. Is it best to use two smaller gauge wires from the Molex and run them both into one Powerpole, or use a crimp connection to merge it into a single 10 gauge wire (it might be 12 gauge). The thicker wire would go into the Powerpole. I could also solder a Y together and do it that way but it adds a soldered connection in the middle between the Molex and Powerpole connectors. I don't see a problem with using a butt splice connector but technically these are made for one wire into each end. Would a crimping of two smaller wires be good enough on one end of the butt splice? This isn't likely to flex much in operation, but I might as well make this work as well as possible and make it look professional. I still need to hunt down my Powerpole crimper but I am not in any hurry.

A friend and I are trying to bring a TL-922 back to life and obtain full power output. The amp is working with a new HV supply and new 3-500Z tubes but cannot achieve full output as specified. It seems to be putting out about half the power that it should. If anyone on this reflector has any clues as to where we should be looking for some component which may be failing or have failed and would cause the low output, please reply. We are driving the amp with 100W and are seeing CW outputs at about 600W, key down, and SSB outputs of about 800W peak. -- 73, Paul — N4PD Radio.N4PD@...

Hi group... My 30+ years old TS-450 has developed a moderate loss of gain roughly a few minutes after I turn it on, which I noticed some time back. I was using it to monitor the output of my signal generator for hum, and I may have hit the 450 with a couple of volts of RF... Where is it best to start looking, or is this not an uncommon issue...?? Thanks for your advice... 73...Jordan VE6ZT

Since we don't have file storage, attached is a catch-all document on soft and hard reset procedures for various Kenwood radios. I'll be uploading this into the files section (in a few minutes) of our HamRadioHelp group: https://hamradiohelp.groups.io/g/main Donald KX8K

I have a lovely new-to-me TS-870, the nicest radio I've owned to date. I got it in part because it supposedly interfaces well with a computer allowing easier programming and other digital advantages, which hopefully include logging. I understand that when new, these came with a Windows program to allow this communication, requiring only an RS-232 Com to USB cable, which I already have. Does anyone have a source for the original software, or other information to help me get started with this? Of course the original version probably won't even load on Windows 10, but gotta start somewhere. And if there is another group that might be helpful that I could post this topic to, please let me know. Charlie WB4FAW Longmont, Colo

It seems unlikely that anyone else has come across this minor problem but worth a try! Instead of the standard Kenwood mic I sometimes use a basic (cheap!) single earpiece / with electret mic on my TS850S. All is OK unless I try to use speech compression then unless I keep the Mic gain well down I get RF feedback even when running into a dummy load. I've tried a combination of inductor in series 1n C's to ground, ferrite rings, keep the RX audio to zero etc. all to no avail. The results are the same on all bands 80 - 10m. I use a similar headset on my H/B HF transceivers without any problems. Any suggestions? Maybe buy one of these absurdly expensive headsets that are advertised in the Radio Mags. I wonder if they suffer with the same problem? 73... Ken G3LVP
