60 meter crystals for the Kenwood TS 520..	Reply

Hello. I was wondering if anyone has gotten crystals for the fixed positions on the Kenwood TS520? Specifically, I am trying to see if I can use 60 meters on the 520? Does the tuning from 75 meters curve up into the 5 MHZ band? Any information on this would help. Thanks, Paul , NZ2K....

The TS-520S is not a good candidate for 60m operation because its VFO range is 4.9 to 5.5 MHz, thus literally tuning through the 60m band. As such, there's nothing to heterodyne against to create a usable signal. WB2WIK/6
