Kenwood TSS Transceiver. View image 2 Page 1 of 2. Radio Communication. Service Manual. Add Comment. Notify me of new comments via email. Remember my form inputs on this computer. I have read and understand the privacy policy. The output stages conform to the de facto industry standard for transceivers with tube finals —two Bs and a 12BY7 driver.
Both analog and digital frequency readout are provided. The digital readout is the traditional Kenwood blue and displays to Hz; the analog dial is accurate to within a couple kHz.
Speech processor, VOX, semi-break-in CW r XIT transmitter incremental tuning , and full metering are all standard The receiver section boasts a noise blanker with a variable level control, fast or slow age, an rf gain control and attenuator, i-f shift, RIT, and a kHz crystal calibrator Not a bad inventory!
The manual is typical of those packed with recent Kenwood equipment — good operating instructions and enough schematics and block diagrams to get you into trouble. A complete service manual is also available.
Our arrived in perfect working order, which is somewhat Unusual for equipment from almost any manufacturer these days. We immediately installed it in the 73 shack alongside its more expensive brother, the TSS. The first thing that strikes you about these two rigs is their similarity. They are built on exactly the same chassis and housed in the same cabinet.

Upgrading to General and then going out and buying an amplfier is The Fool's Game. Worry about the amplifier -- when you have more knowledge FCC test memorization virtually useless here Expereintal knowledge and skills ARE required to suceed in this hobby -- otherwise its just an expensive cellular phone service.

The Kenwood part number is X W9GB is correct in that as a new operator, you should probably be concentrating on the basics just now. That would include, but be limited to, just getting on the air, and seeing how it goes. An antenna is much more important than an amp at this stage of the game. Using amps is usually considered a bit more advanced. I'm not saying that you don't know what you are doing, but it appears from your postings that a bit more experience would be a good thing before you start messing around with high power.
As W9GB also mentions, amps need to be tuned for the band that you intend to operate on and that is something that you will need to practice on, and the best way to do that is to first read the user manual and understand what it says. Then, purchase an external wattmeter and a dummy load.
