Description: This is a used, working, Kenwood Hybrid TS-520s HF ham transmitter that has a couple issues, so being sold AS-IS, NO RETURNS, but guaranteed not DOA. All functions checked and working with the following exceptions: Vox does not seem to work (I never use it anyway). (PTT does work fine) Bands 28.0 and 28.5 do not seem to work. (28.0 does not have a crystal installed, not sure what is wrong with 28.5) The transmitter was loaded up on all bands in CW except 28.0 and 28.5 ... there was a large crystal for 28.0 mhz soldered on the back of the circuit board but it did not seem to work ... I removed it and included it in a zip lock bag in the box inside the shipping box. Contacts were made on CW and SSB on 40 meters which is the only band I work. I changed the HV capacitors and HV is running about 950dc volts. bias is good and idle current set at 60ma. The drive control seems to function well. the following is a list of non operational issues that do not affect function: the main tuning knob is not OEM and is a black anodized knurled aluminum knob which works fine.... the 9 pin remote vfo jumper on the back is missing and I put 2 pins in 8 & 9 and soldered a wire between them (covered in tape) ... the Astatic mic is not OEM but works fine per on air reports on 40m ... the cabinet has been repainted and looks pretty good and is pretty close to the OEM color .. the faceplate looks decent with some scratches around the outside band... the S meter lamps have been replaced with LED lights and they seem pretty good... the dial lamps have been replaced with LED lights and they work but are not real bright... I have included a copy of the operator manual and the service manual and some other papers that were handy to have. The power connector and cord are brand new. the radio looks pretty clean on the inside. the 6146B are RCA and seem to work good on 40m SSB... I purchased this for my camp and bought a ten tec Jupiter that I am planning to use there instead. I packed it well and it weighs 42 pounds and is in a large sturdy box so shipping will not be cheap but the Ebay shipping calculator will give you actual shipping cost. Thanks for looking..
