Title: TS-870 RF UNIT BOARD Post by: W8UJX on January 04, 2016, 02:31:04 PM Hello guys,
Could anyone tell me where I can find a new (or used) working RF UNIT (X44-3210-00) (A/9) BOARD for my TS-870 Kenwood Transceiver or get the existing board repaired? Contacted Kenwood and they could not help me. Thanks, Jerry Jk.ashley@verizon.net Title: Re: TS-870 RF UNIT BOARD Post by: Pete, WA2CWA on January 04, 2016, 04:05:54 PM One of the best:

I thought I would give it one last try to fix the board myself and I finally found the problem. A diode, D8 had opened up. I did not have a part in the correct package type but I was able to solder in a 1N914. Radio works great. I'm 78 years old and used to working on stuff like the WRL Globe King. This SMT stuff is for people with good eye balls. Jerry, W8UJX |
