Once upon a time, a large Japanese company, who made special equipment for amateurs: the Kenwood!
The Kenwood in the 80s and 90s built beautiful apparatus, the 9xx series is the top of the production.
Unfortunately, the Kenwood has now shifted his interest in other areas, OM leaving only the Kenwood TS-2000, a quad system is completely different from the philosophy that marked the Kenwood with the previous series, the Kenwood TS-2000 is now on sale for almost 10 years!
Today, lovers of Kenwood, famous for its brilliant TX modulation of its apparatus, expect a very worthy successor to the coveted Kenwood TS-950SDX, you can definitely consider the last of the Kenwood was lucky.
The 3 series are all familiar with OM: The Kenwood TS-930S, the Kenwood TS-940S series and Kenwood TS-950S / SD / SDX
The first of the 9xx series, which was a great success, on a scale world, was the Kenwood TS-930S.
username product early '80s, by which time the devices with final valve began to stagnate, the Kenwood was proposed as a world leader with the great Kenwood TS-830s, and was now ready for the final seal, with The Kenwood TS-930S.
Apparatus according to HF line continuous, fully transistorized with 100 watts of power, with a superb 4-conversion receiver, front panel mounted many commands, but all very helpful and quick to use ... IF Notch filter, double IF Shift (called SSB Slope Tune), 2 NB, Mic IN and OUT Processor, antenna tuner. For the CW commands that are valuable on modern DSP devices no longer exist: AF Tune, Pitch and VBT, and the ability to mount optional narrow filters. Beautiful
his generous and clear S / Meter Analog envy of modern equipment with S / Digital Meter!
From large size and very sturdy and heavy, the Kenwood TS-930S was not afraid of big competitors on the amateur market. The Icom
was still at large on the world stage with major equipment, the Yaesu could only give her a hard time with the new and impressive Yaesu FT-980 and the bitter and gargantuan Yaesu FT-ONE.
The Kenwood TS-930S can suffer from problems in the supply, it said in turn that it is strongly recommended that you change the fan, so that you keep it running!
Altra nota dolente è la Digital Unit che a causa della sua progettazione spesso si può rompere!
Per fortuna esiste una soluzione ed è la famosa scheda della PIEXX adottata sul 930 che può ridare vita a qualche 930 malconcio, aggiungendo inoltre numerose nuove funzioni!
Se volete possedere oggi un buon Kenwood TS-930S revisionato, sappiate che state per avere tra le mani uno dei migliori apparati mai construiti per gli OM, spendendo più o meno solo 500/600 euro!!
La Kenwood con il suo TS-930 colpiva ancora nel segno, questo apparato aveva tutto quello che un OM potesse desiderare, fu prodotto in molti esemplari e aprì la strada al suo successore il mitico e roboante Kenwood TS-940S! ....ma questa è un'altra storia!
