[CQ-Contest] TS850 problem

[Dan Violette]

I have the same issue and am guessing it is my well recycled antenna (it is
nearly older than me and I just turned 40).  If there is an issue with the
-850 I would like to know also.  Might also send your original note to the
Kenwood reflector - kenwood at qth.net

Are you sure the problem is in the '850?  I had a similar situation which
was
cured by a momentary transmit, and it turned out to be a bad solder joint in
a
coax connector.  Just a thought.
