The desire to do some more digital experiments led me to the decision to purchase a used Kenwood TS-450SAT. 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.
- It has the AT-450 built in.
- It has all the filters built in:
- YG-455CN-1
- YK-88CN-1
- YK-88SN-1
- And it has the Tone Unit TU-8 built in.
