Kenwood TS-820S

Kenwood TS-820S demo, They don't make radio's like this anymore, 25 plus years old and still going strong. I made contacts all around US and allways a goog report. BIg and heavy but nothing like the worm glow of the lights and that old radio sound.

Fantastic rig. I still use this model for my primary. Gotta keep it old school :)

I have one and badly needs to go to radio shop

for good overhaul. I bought it used. Hardly ever used it. I unfortunately, never got the SSB nor the CW filters for it. I'd love to have one of the WARC bands added. Have you done this?

Also, I have the scope and remote VFO too. Failed to get the matching linear. Kick myself for not doing that too. Hi!

Cool. I just purchased one of these. Can't wait to get it all hooked up and operational.

I am the new owner of this radio. It is everything Don said it was. It does indeed look new. Currently in use at W9GAS in Tennessee. Thanks Don for such a great radio and your tips to my nephew on how to pack it. Came through in perfect condition.

This 820s is one of the cleanest looking examples of this radio I have ever seen. It looks almost brand new. I have the 820s and love it. Mine is in a state of repair and can't wait to get it fixed soon. One day I will restore mine to look like this one.
