Hi, acquired a ts-511s with power supply and cant find much info.
all cleaned up and working with one minor bug to fix.
not a keeper for me, just curious that I havent run across any for sale
on the auction sites or info when googling, so dont know how to price it
if and when i fix the remaining problem. ie: on 75 meters only after 20
minutes
75 loses xmt and receive functions, all others work fine , full output etc.
tnx Jim kw3u


Check out eHam.net boatanchor forum. I gather that this is
an early version of the TS-520, a hybrid using final
amplifier sweep tubes to generate 500 pep. If it's got the
same guts as a 520, it should be a hot one for receive
sensitivity/selectivity/stability. omeone compared it to a
TR-4CW... One sold in 2006 on eHam.net classifieds for $300,
including PS, extra for shipping.
