The desire to do some more digital experiments led me to the decision to purchase a used Kenwood TS-450S. It has some ke features which I intend to use intensively:
- Compared to my Kenwood TS-930SAT it has an IF of 455 KHz, which facilitates DRM reception considerably.
- All functions can be remote controlled. Since I seldomly have the time to travel 150 km to my shack, I have long thought about setting up my station in Burglengenfeld but controlling it over the internet. This ideal situation has now come a lot closer.
- It is a 12V device. I now have the opportunity to operate mobile.
- Since my GAP TITAN has an excellent SWR over all shortwave bands except 160m, I think I can go without an antenna tuner. Should I some time stumble over a good AT-450, I will certainly open to upgrade...
