[Kenwood] TS-450S woes.

Fri Oct 27 08:48:03 EDT 2017

Had this issue with a 690 (same radio)
Maybe 10-12 years ago
If it's the same issue it was not overly common but I've heard about it from others.
I doubt the boards are available anymore.
But it was intermittent, I also noticed on mine when the xmit audio went goofy the receive did also.
Wound up being the main mixer board if memory is correct

Subject: [Kenwood] TS-450S woes.
A good friend has a nice TS-450S, which has begun to have problems with the audio in transmit. The ALC reading pegs out or drops to zero with no setting in between. In other words, it cannot be set so that a normal voice is centered in the ALC scale. It is either all or nothing, so to speak. Furthermore, on the air, both with the original hand-mike, and with a correctly wired Turner Plus 3 which I have successfully used with my own Kenwood rigs, the audio sounds distorted most of the time, like some audio stage is being overdriven. Is this a common problem with the TS-450S and if so, where would one begin to look? Also, is there someone who still services these in case my friend, Bob Isenberg KL2JY, needs to send it off?
