[Kenwood] TS-850S Questions/Problems

Fri Nov 26 21:35:37 EST 2004

Hello List!

Hope you're well.....I just installed the YG-455C1(500 Hz filter) and every 
time I activate it, the output is low, does not seem to be narrowing the 
passband, and I have to crank the volume way up to hear anything. Even when I 
flip the DIP switch on and off, there's no effect.

Sound like a bad filter, or a common problem with this radio? Your help is 
appreciated. Also, do you know of a good Kenwood tech in Southern California?

Thanks,
Ed NI6S

PS: This rig is a 30 million serial number...Should I be worried about the 
famous DDS chip problem??
