Kenwood TS-2000 Repairs

We are now able to offer some limited repair service for owners of the venerable Kenwood TS-2000 transceiver. 

  1. Repair failed back lighting of the digital display, by installing LED lights (with necessary circuit changes).
  2. Replace old backup battery.
  3. Adjust master oscillator to be within 20 Hz of correct frequency on 2 meters.  (for higher bands the error will be greater due to increased drift with fan operation).
  4. Fan Modifications.
  5. Fix incorrect 1296 MHz output module bias, in early models.
  6. Fixing other faults, details to be worked out, but on a case-by-case basis.
