Nice looking older Kenwood TS-520 Tube/Transistor Hybrid. She powered right up. Very sensitive receiver with nice audio. All controls seem to be functioning properly. I tuned around 40 and 20 meters using my ZS6BKW antenna. Plenty of activity on the bands. Internal speaker works, but I prefer an external when testing or using radios. I tuned the transceiver on 7.200 per Kenwood’s instructions. I moved over to CW and retuned the transceiver. Almost 100 watts on my antenna with no antenna tuner. Not too bad for an old set of 6146′s. I used a Shure SM-58 mic wired for 4 pin Kenwood pin outs to check the LSB output on 40 meters. My Flex was my signal monitor. Other than leaving it on for a couple hours no further testing. External clean without excessive wear. A nice Kenwood for restoration. Just the transceiver and a DC cable. Did not come with a mic or ac cable. There could be other issues with the unit that are yet to be discovered. Will require maintenance sooner or later.
