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, KQ8M

Tim -

Regarding your older TS-830 -- no reason not to have this in good shape.
Maybe you have not read K4EAA's web site:
