The IC-718 is (as described ) an entry level rig. A casual op will find it great. The FT-920 is another story. Having a built in monitor, DVK/speech processor for SSB, and dual frequency readout make

How long has Kenwood been out of the running for the "preferred rig status" for contesting? Was there ever a model that was good for a *real* work out? TNX, Bob KE5CTY (old calls WB5ZQU - WY5L) http:

I think the TS870 was discontinued about 2 years ago. The TS850, TS930, TS940 and TS950SDX were all considered premier contest rigs, as was the TS830 during the tube era. I used to have a set of Kenw

Good that is refreshing, because around 1988 or so I had a friend of mine who I also respected as a great CWOP who loved Kenwood. So Kenwood did have it's day. I wonder if it is going to come back. W

Hi Bob, I am not sure what rig comes closest to the TS870 today. Probably the Icom 756PRO if you are looking at HF in general. In the Kenwood lineup it would be the TS2000. 73s John NE0P have comes h
