Kenwood TS-2000 problem
I have a problem with my rig. There is too much noise main VFO, noise
that looks like somebody is transmitting with bad amp, S-meter jumps sometimes to +40 dB. The worst is on 70cm, but it is present on all bands. When I switch to sec. VFO, everything is fine. In the same time, on the same freq. Main VFO is showing noise. Any ideas?

The main and sub have different IF/AF sections. The Main is multiple conversion with 10.695 MHz. and 455 IFs and multimode demod that is common to all bands. The VHF/UHF Sub has a 58 MHz IF that goes straight into its own FM/AM demod. It is interesting that they used completely different designs for these packages allowing for advantages and disadvantages of both. BTW there is a glaring error on page 229 of the original Service Manual. |

There shouldn't be a problem like that via the antenna anyway. I would be more inclined to wonder if a switching power supply had a spurious landing there, but it could also be a noisy IF amp. in the Main band. |
