[Kenwood] TS-711A dead

If it goes completely dead after it gets hot, check for a cold solder joint
on the power supply PCB. Mine did a similar thing years ago.

Have not noticed whether you had received any replies on this problem or
not. I suppose it could have been direct replies. I have an TS-711 here and
in fact owned others. When you state that it goes dead after 20 - 30
minutes, do you mean completely dead? No display, no meter lamps, etc? 
During the 20 - 30 minutes of operational time, does the unit appear to work
fine both transmit and receive?
