... I have a TS-930s That has been in storage for 13 years. I fired it up and it receives fine. Everything seems in good shape except there is no RF output. In the tune mode the VC reads almost full scale where the IC reads low at about 1a. On CW there is no output and I get the same meter readings. I am getting real frustrated. I have been off the air the same amount of time the rig has been and really want to get back on. I can use an old 830 I have here but it's controls are so corroded I am going to have to go inside and attempt to clean them. Any help would be appreciated. Many thanks, Tim - Kenwood released 15 service bulletins for the TS-930S, while it was in production. Here are some of them: http://www.qsl.net/ki4nr/kenwood/ Original soldering and power supply issues are often mentioned in repairs for this radio. Personally, I would perform a close 'visual' inspection of the electrolytic capacitors and components in the power supply section. Some additional resources and reference materials: W6NL/HC8L, D.B.
