Here is a great hf package for the beginner, or the vacation cabin.
Or, sell the power supply and run the transceiver mobile for peanuts! The TS-130S is a compact, all solid-state transceiver covering 80 through 10 meters, SSB and CW. There are WARC band positions on the bandswitch, but you'll have to do the mod to open it up .... cut a diode lead, I believe. Features include RIT, 10db attenuator, IF shift, speech compressor, full vox, and more. The power supply is a perfect match for the transceiver. The radio receives and transmits beautifully - great audio reports, smooth cw. Here's the catch: They look pretty scruffy. Both enclosures and "trim rings" show rust, and there is one small rust spot on the front panel of the transceiver (which otherwise is quite nice). No holes, dents, or bends though. Also, the digital display is not working ... but there is an analog dial, though the lamp needs to be replaced. No books or microphone ... any MC-50 wired for Kenwood will work well. Buy this package for the performance and price, not for the looks. Might trade for other hf rigs or boatanchors. Thanks. Jeff W8KZW Zip 48322 Reply to (replace alpha with numeric) |
