[Kenwood] Need help locating/removing TS-820S "Counter Assembly" - Thanks!

Mon, 23 Sep 2002 20:25:49 -0700

Thanks to all who assisted both on and off the list.
I pulled the counter unit, cleaned up the ground foil around the
screw holes
and sprayed/reseated all the connectors.

The TS-820S is now back in service with the display bright and
steady.

Unfortunately, it's dark outside now, so hanging a dipole will have
to wait.
