I am a fancier of the TS-830S transceiver and am searching for some
historical facts..Anyone know how many were produced,Or,first and last
serial numbers..I think they were first produced in August ,1980 and
last advertised about July of 82 looks like about Two years of
production ..Thanks Harold W4PQW

Has to be longer than that, I pruchase the TS-530S (the TS-830S was
readily
avaialble) in the fall of 1983.

Got curious myself since I liked mine so much. Found this web page from
SK
that says "introduced in 1977"

Sadly, Diehl Martin, W4TI (web site above) passed away 4 months after my
colleague at work --- who also had pancreatic cancer.
