TS-130 Repair Question
« on: June 24, 2022, 12:10:03 PM »

Have an older TS-130S that puts out like 65-70 watts on 80 meters, drops all bands above.   Any ideas of a repair source ?

Check the power supply voltage at the back of the radio when keyed down in CW mode. It should not drop below 13.5-13.8v

If you're getting 60-70 watts on 80 and the output on 10M is down to 10 watts or so you probably have bad finals. Kenwood has a service bulletin for the 120S that deals with this subject.
