Making of Kenwood TS-990

The original power supply melted, so bring that Home Depot Genset!

Uh, "melted"?

The power supply for Duga-3 was the Chernobyl nuke plant.

Did a bit more than just melt.

w9cll, yeah I just looked that up like 3 days after I posted it... Sad to hear and see it really.

Slowmover, I think I will just rent out the HAARP complex! A few million watts can't hurt!

That would be a nail biter

Easy mod, would take me longer to get inside the thing. My 775-DSP was worse than that because the thing you had to remove was on the CPU on the inside front of radio, so you had to partially remove the face....

Oh...I'd mod it. I'd just be extra careful, especially if it was a friend's rig.

That's just crazy . . . priced themselves out of the market at that rate . . . won't see one of those at a flea market or hamfest any time soon . . .

Never say never. Hell I saw a 7800 used at HRO a few weeks ago, didn't last long... and those were 10k not all that long ago.

Expensive? yes... worth it? Depends on the guy buying it. Even a 7851 is not more expensive than an entry level, used weekend car or something.

I have a 7800.....Yaesu though.

Now if I just could afford this....

Not sure, but I think that collapsed.
