...and is being shipped back to me. Should have it Monday or so. Cause? Leaky capacitors damaged traces, vias, and circuit board. I should sue Kenwood for using such inferior materials LOL.
I think that may be the last time I will repair it. If it fails again, I will sell it for parts. I did buy it used and I don't really know how old it is. Not even sure the manufacture period of that series of HF radios.
I still have my eye on the Alinco DX-SR8T since it has a detachable head and the rest of the radio can be in a cabinet somewhere. It will take up less room.
Anyway, hope to be back on the air next week. Whoot!
