FS:Kenwood TS-520S
 

I have a TS-520S condition (9+) that has good performance on all bands. May be seen at http://home.grics.net/rchowerter/index.htm . Priced at $250 plus shipping charges.

I once had a TS-520S. It was a damn good transceiver. But I
experimentally much-modified it over the years until, hardly improved,
I had to give it away, still in working order.

Good to hear it is still 'doing the rounds'.

I still run one, with the DG-5 freq display. I picked it up used and
dropped but it took very little work to get it up and running.
I used to have a TS-820s and a Yaesu FT-902DM, but have found that I can
do with out them. Likewise, I got rid of my Delhi tower, Ham4 Rotor,
and TA-33Jr and now use a 33 foot pine pole stuck in a hole in the ground
with home brew wire antennae.

I haven't really noticed any significant improvement other than simplicity!
I figure the TS-520S will run forever, and if something goes wrong it is
easy to fix.
