Sounds like you are looking for a Kenwood TS-530S or TS-830S. The built-in
12 volt power supply kind of rules out tube finals, except for the old
TS-520, which doesn't have WARC. Ditto for the 6M, not too much tube output
stuff did that.

If you drop the requirement for tube finals, it's easy, except for the
built-in power supply.

Hi Gang,
The junkfest season starts here next weekend, and I've been
thinking about searching for a newer, more capable low band rig.
My current rig is an old TS-820S which I am very pleased with.

Here are my requirements;

tube finals, 160-10 meter bands including the newfangled (!) WARC bands,
100 watts out, internal power supply

Would be nice, but not necessary;

12 VDC supply built in, general coverage receiver, 6 meter capability,
a Kenwood rig, AM

Yes, I know there is a lot of info on the web about rigs and specs. I'm
hoping for some model numbers to start with. Thanks!

Steve
