Title: Kenwood TS-870 Part Post by: W8UJX on December 07, 2015, 05:02:38 PM Does anyone know where I can find a source for PL-1 used in the Kenwood TS-870. This is a lamp used in the antenna circuit to protect the rig from high power signals fed back from the antenna.
Thanks, Jerry, W8UJX note - email address has changes since last post. jk.ashley@verizon.net Title: Re: Kenwood TS-870 Part Post by: Pete, WA2CWA on December 07, 2015, 05:34:21 PM I Googled and found:
Quote Front-end overload: The TS-870's front-end is well protected by fuse-lamps (PL1 and PL2 on the RF Unit). PL1 protects the main RX input (RAT), and PL2 protects the EXT RX ANT port. Kenwood does not list the specifications of these lamps. Although tests indicate they are rated at 5V 100mA. But I recommend replacing with original factory parts when available. The part number is B30-2134-05." Then, going to East Coast Kenwood parts http://www.kenwoodparts.com/index and doing a part number search (you now have the number): Displaying 1 - 1 of 1 Results.

I have the user and service manuals and I tried looking there to no avail. Should have known better and just Googled for info like you did. I have already ordered the parts. Tks again, Jerry W8UJX |
