LOL, Sorry, Yes, Kenwood Service Center.

I'm a Yeasu and Kenwood fan, having a couple of HF rigs from each mfr, for various uses.

And yes, it was Skyland, when they were in Atlanta.  Now set up in Gainesville, but haven't been to that store yet.  And that is def an option lacking factory service availability.  He did fantastic first time, just a little more tweaking perhpas may resolve the 75 meter observation.  I need to put it back up on the air and give it another going over just to see if any other bands are affected.

That or start buying more test equipment (toys : )).....

Subject: [sedxc] TS-850S Factory Alignment ?

 
Happy Friday all you DXers.

My local radio club acquired a very nice used Kenwood TS-850S from a member that went SK.

After giving it a look over, it was fully functional but there were some receive audio issues, specifically on SSB.

One of the local Ham Repair shops performed an alignment for us at a reasonable price, but this field day I was still hearing both lower and upper sidebands on 75 meters.

Lacking the needed test equipment myself, can somebody direct me to the nearest Yeasu Service center?  I need to find out if they offer a factory alignment.

This is a Great Radio, just needs a little more fixin to make it "right". 

Thanks in advance for any help.
