- To: ham-equip@ucsd.edu
-
- I don't have the answer to the question Bradley offers, but I'm
- interested in
- learning more about the TVR7100 module and its reportedly poor
- performance.
-
- I have little trouble getting TV and FM radio from great distances with
- a simple random wire antenna in a poor location near my apartment.
- I have considered getting the TV reception module but am still curious
- about
- its performance with the recvr.
-
- What sort of poor performance has been seen Bradley?

- Subject: Kenwood TS-60 - Opinions?
- To: ham-equip@ucsd.edu
-
- I haven't seen the actual radio yet, but am glad that Kenwood built it.
-
- This radio could have had 10m in it as well and been a better value and
- more
- useful as 10m is used for coordinating 6m often, but I'm glad they
- built it
- anyway. My question is:
-
- Who's bought and used it? How about some quick reviews of this radio
- for the net.
-
- Worst feature, best features, and important missing features which
- should have been added....etc.

- I have used for many years an AC variable transformer and
- start at 10vac and bring up th volatage by 10vac about
- every 15 min. I also use a dc adj. supply to bring up
- low and high voltage (5-15vdc)&(100-500vdc) in 10o/o
- steps. It has worked for me in may old radio shop and
- all the old eq. i now get from the goverment sales
-
- The r4 and t4 where good rigs in there day but as
- you say do not have the bands of today or the selectivaty
- of todays rigs
