It looks nothing like an "ancient Yaesu"...because is a Kenwood TS-830S, introduced in 1980. To this day it's one of the best hybrid-design ham transceivers ever made. It has two S2001A (equivalent to 6146B) tubes in the PA for 220 W PEP SSB, 180 W CW. Ham bands (including WARC) only. Gotta love a rig with PA PLATE and LOAD controls.
Still...what QST editor confused the TS-830S with a KX3, or any other all-solid state rig made since 1983? My guess is some youngster who doesn't know that rigs like this with vacuum tubes ever existed. :-) Mike / KK5F > ...From the photo it looks like an ancient Yaesu. > ... > Joe N9JR >> Perhaps it was a very early pre-production model, before they had finished >> miniaturizing it sufficiently :-) >> >> Dave >> AA7EE ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [email protected]
