Kenwood TS130S
 

Hi everyone.

A mate of mine has a Kenwood TS130S.

He has his foundation licience and wants to use the rig.

Is there a way of turning down the rig to 10w output as at the moment it's doing around 100w.

I did have a look in the service manual and thought of turning down the finals
board.

I know some people will say adjust RF Gain. But thats not good enough.

What are peoples thoughts. Is there a mod to turn it down.

Thanks Andy G6OHM

is it for ssb, fm , am or all?

Most of the basic level models from Japan were also available as 10W models. They had different PA boards.

You could try to find a board, but it likely comes with a full radio.

The easiest option might be a licence upgrade :-) Not said to be cute, but in terms of total effort.
