How I connected an SDR to the TS-520 that lacks an IF output port. This should probably be similar for many old analog radios. Here are some links I found helpful:
The Kenwood SM-220 manual: www.radiomanual...
The Kenwood Hybrid group: kenwood-hybrid...

And the hardware used:
RTL SDR v3: www.amazon.com...
10 db Attenuator: www.amazon.com...

Thanks for this, very useful. I have a 530 and a 830, so useful. Thanks too for the link to the hybrid group. I was having difficulty finding it.

I enjoyed the video. And I followed your instruction. Yes, it does work with my TS-520. Thanks a lot.

Glad it worked! I have been using mine a lot lately for both the visual display and also as a DSP filter, which works very well, too. 73, Sam

Just did this on a 520 Sports Edition (SE). I went with the drain of Q4 on the IF board though, as suggested in the manual for the KW station monitor. I have a reg. 520 too, maybe I'll try what you did. Easier spot to get to. Itching to try out but waiting foe more parts. Did the main filter caps. Just ordered C... 15-16? Different part number on the regular 520. But new manufacture dual 22ufs.

This is so awesome! Would you post a link to the actual forum subject so I can find it and read through it please. I'm watching again to make sure I heard the correct capacitor I think it was 47 pf

Maybe one of these cheap chinese DDS on the vfo out and that will get you a way to see actual frequency and might even allow you to remotely steer the TRX fully too? Cool vid :)

Of course. This comes from the SM-220 operating manual. Freq specs on page 3, and the IF output modification on page 16. Hope this helps, here's the link: www.radiomanual.info/schemi/KENW_ACC/Kenwood_SM-220_user.pdf

Is that a tube transceiver? I want to buy a old tube TRX encase one day we get a big sun flare hit us or if some cold country tries to use EMP weapons or something like that. Yes! if this happened then a pan adapter for an SDR would be useless but I highly doubt those to scenarios will take place. So if I have a old tube TRX laying around I may as well put some mileage on her.

This is a hybrid radio, where the majority of the circuits are solid-state, but the driver and final amplifier sections use vacuum tubes.
