It's the same procedure, all the Kenwood hybrids xmit sections are about the same.

Would you be able to do a Kenwood 530-s output tune procedure?

Thanks much.

When I got into ham radio the first hf rig I had was a ts-520s once you can tune it you can tune just about any radio.

Great Video by the way.

Nice. My first transciever was a TS-520S. Added a 500Hz CW filter at one point. Kenwood makes great rigs. I've had two sets of Twins as well. Made a lot of contacts with those rigs. Sometimes...I wish I wasn't running a FT-817ND, just for the warm glow of tubes and the rompin'-stompin' 100+ watts. :)

The local ham radio shop once told me to just peak for max output.

Nice video. You said you painted the rig. How did you choose the color (and type/manufacturer) ?

Thanks and 73,

I have this kid of radio. It's very nice. But I would like to heard this video in Spanish.

Hi there.; I have the TS-520S . nice radios' . very nice state of the art .

[spikebozo]

I have a 520s and to get my rig too tune up I have to use the vox the send switch works but when trying output for power I have to use the vox switch tks Rober

make sure the carrier control is fully clockwise when tuning on cw

[hmanonbass]

@MyLesPaulcopy - Unless you are talking or feeding audio into the rig, you'll have no power showing because you are not "driving" it. If it tunes up properly using cw, have no fear, it'll work great on ssb.
