I'm in search of a radio to get back into the hobby. I'd like to get
something from the Kenwood family but in all the googling I've done, I
have no idea what the differences are between the TS-530, TS-830 and
TS-930. Not so much interested in raw specs as I am in what features
differentiated these models.

I've found reviews on www.eham.net and specs on www.qsl.net. Nowhere
can I find something more like a sales brochure.

From my own experience, drop the 930 from your list. Great rig but
ultimstely unrepairable by anybody. 530 and 830 are survivors.
