Ts 950sdx Serial Number Data
I believe the TS940s were produced from 1985 until 1992. Kenwood serial number XYYZZZZZ X = last digit of the year YY = Production Month ZZZZZ = sequence in production for that month.
Foxhunter, I have a TS-930Sat(sn.5xxxxxx) with the autotuner already installed and find it is an excellent rig.Just as the 940's,you have to watch out for early serial #'s.both had similar problems with the power supply regulator boards and the 930's have a 3x AA battery that were usually corroded in older radios.Mine does the usuall hf band with WARC included.And the continuous coverage. The TS-930S AGC systern may be modified using the same principles I used for the TS-940S. Figure 5 is the TS-930S AGC system shown in the service manual. This system is very similar to the TS-940S. Operation is the same as that of the TS-940S and doesn't warrant additional explanation. Permalink I have a Kenwood TS-940S that I am trying to identify. It has a REALLY early serial number 0050364.
