I think you will notice from the list below, that I favor Kenwood HF and VHF mobile equipment, and Icom handhelds. As far as the handhelds are concerned, I don't have anything against Kenwood. I have a pecuilar theory that to maintain the ability to communicate, having the same type of battery packs insures that you can communicate uninterrupted.

!!!! ATTENTION PLEASE !!!!

I purchased a Kenwood TS-440s without the AT-440 internal auto antenna tuner. I am looking
to purchase one. These units are no longer available from Kenwood. If you have one or know of
someone who has one for sale, please, please email me at [email protected]. I will entertain
any reasonable offer.

I am also looking for information on the Kenwood TS670s and to possibly buy one. If you have
the manual, spec sheet,or own one or know of someone who has one for sale, I would also like to hear from you.

!!!! News Flash !!!!
