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


No such rig exists. Go with an external power supply and solid state
finals, and plenty of rigs have 160-10, with WARC bands. A few also
have 6 meters.

Look at the "product reviews" at eham.net. That will be the best way
to familiarize yourself with what might be out there.
