[Kenwood] Nobody loves the 820S

Thu Jul 29 12:56:54 EDT 2004

I have a TS-820S that I've been struggling with for a couple of months
after inheriting it from a SK.
I've contacted two well-known Kenwood shops and while one said send it on,
it was obvious they were not excited to work on an 820S, while the other
said that they simply don't take them in anymore (unless they were
perfect collocters items) because parts are so scarce or not avaialable.
OK, they run their shops as they see fit and that's all good. But I'm
still left with a radio that I like that is squirrely. If the answer is
that an 820S is just not worth the effort, I can handle that and will do
what I can on my own.
But if anybody out there has a suggestion for a shop that will look at an
820S, please let me know.
