The TS-130SE was built for about two years as an economy version of the
130S ..Don`t have the details but ,usually the economy version had all
the essentials and virtually the same performance as the original . I
guess they were trying to lower the selling price a bit.. Most of the
"E" versions in the Kenwood line that I am familiar with worked as well
as the regular version,if not better.. GL W4PQW
