Thanks Mike - I asked West Mountain to address the concerns expressed by others on the e-Ham website equipment reviews. West Mountain has been VERY good with sending me information, addressing the specific concerns mentioned on e-Ham and giving me specifics on the TS-820S connection. They did mention being cautious about connecting the isolated CW output into the Ts820S. They are concerned about the negative voltage (-65volts) keying on the old Kenwood . they said it may exceed the optical isolator capability. So I was hoping that another user might have plugged in another Kenwood 820 into the Duo. Do you know if your 850 or 870 has negative voltage keying?

I will be connecting an old Kenwood TS-820S and Yaesu FT897D I replaced a Rigblaster Pro with a Duo right after they came out, using it with a Kenwood TS-850 and 870. I like it, but it works a little differently from the other models - it uses speaker level rather than line level audio. You shouldn't have any problems using two different make radios - that's what the jumper blocks are for. Mike, N5UKZ
