Most of these are obvious as to whether the function is engaged or not. However, there is a power on function that allows the DSP unit to be involved in slope tuning as an audio filter, right along with the traditional slope tuning function for SSB. You hold down the 455 button while turning the radio on. Now here is my problem, there doesn't appear to be a way to tell if that function is off or on. Does anyone know what the default setting is for this? These functions are found on page 24 of the manual. I did a full reset of the radio, but the default setting seems to sometimes be the first one listed-like for the 10hz display resolution and other times it is the second one listed-like with the Audible mode announcement. So, I have no idea as to whether the 950, after a full reset, as the DSP audio filter turned on or off with the slope tuning. Anyone have an answer to this question? 73 John AF5CC From kenw8ek at gmail.com Thu Nov 23 08:52:17 2017 From: kenw8ek at gmail.com (Ken, W8EK) Date: Thu, 23 Nov 2017 08:52:17 -0500 Subject: [Kenwood] Kenwood Items FS Message-ID: Miscellaneous Kenwood Items For Sale: Antenna Tuner, Crystal Filters, Linear Amplifier Switching Cables, CTCSS Subaudible tone encoder/decoder, HT accessories, Power Supplies, Cables, manuals and more For Sale: . . Kenwood AT-440 Automatic Antenna Tuner: The Kenwood AT-440 automatic antenna tuner is the internal tuner used in the TS-440. Many of the TS-440's came with the AT-440 installed, and were then designated as a TS-440 S/AT. Some of them did not have the internal tuner. If your TS-440 did not have the tuner installed, this is your opportunity to get one. This package includes the antenna tuner, along with the cables and hardware needed to install it. This one works fine. Only $95. . . Kenwood Crystal Filters For Sale: . Kenwood YK-88 C 1 "Plug In" Crystal Filter This filter is 500 Hz wide, for CW or narrow digital. This is a "plug in filter" as opposed to the type that must be soldered in. It is used in rigs such as the TS-450, TS-570, TS-690, TS-850, TS-930, TS-940, TS-950, and others. This is for the 8.83 MHz IF; it works 100% and looks like new. Paper work is included for $70. . Kenwood YK-88 S Crystal Filter: This is a "solder in" type filter used on rigs such as the TS-120, TS-130, TS-430, TS-440, and others of this era. It is 2.4 KHz wide and used for SSB. It works 100%, and includes paper work for $55. . . Linear Amp Switching Cables for Kenwood Rigs: This cable goes from a Kenwood transceiver to a linear amplifier to switch the amp from transmit to receive. One end has a DIN connector, as is used with most Kenwood rigs. The other end has an RCA phono plug, as used by most linear amplifiers. Before using this cable, please check the switching capabilities of your transceiver, and the requirements of your amplifier. Cable for switching the T/R relay Only $15. Cable as above, but with ALC line in addition to T/R switching. $20 . . Kenwood TSU-6 CTCSS Tone Encoder/Decoder: Many transceivers, both mobile and HTs, either have no subaudible CTCSS PL tones in them, or they may have an encoder only. If you need both encode and decode, it may be that you need the TSU-6, depending on your rig. The TSU-6 is made to work with the TH-25, TH-45, and TH-55 series HTs and probably others. It also works with the TM-231, TM-701, TM-702, TM-721, TM-731 and likely other mobile rigs. This one works fine. Since it installs internally, cosmetics is a non-issue. Buy this unit for $45. . .
