Fantastic solution for bad TS-850 DSP chips Time Owned: more than 12 months.
Like so many with earlier series Kenwood TS-850S radios, I ran into issues with the original CAR board--bad capacitors and DSP chips that went bad, causing my '850 to become a bit of a doorstop. I discovered the CAR board replacement designed, produced and sold by Martin, IW3AUT. The product is nicely constructed, was truly plug and play, works great and was less expensive than the other '850 CAR board replacement on the market. I ordered directly from Martin's site, in late 2019, and received it via DHL in under five days. More info on the board: http://www.iw3aut.altervista.org/wordpress/?page_id=1307&lang=en_US
