The TS-530/830 mod and upgrade thread

[g1cpu]

I am writing to thank you guys for documenting these improvements. I stumbled on this article and then this forum yesterday. I am in the middle of breathing life back in to a TS-530, two TS-830S's and a TS-830M (as shown on my qrz page). The photographs say a thousand words and help me confidently to look where the action is. Although this article was last updated a couple of years ago, those like myself still find snippets of well documented suggestions like this very valuable. Thanks. Greg G1CPU

Greg,

Quite welcome. As I'd indicated earlier in thread I have a project -S that I'm going to convert to an -M and redesign the AM TX side of things in the process to get away from the (in)famous sideband+carrier approach that Kenwood so loves.

Be sure to post pics or details of what you run into with yours as you go.
