KENWOOD TS-130s Trouble shooting and Repair

[@jorgemedina2458]

I do have one. It is like new. Works very nicely and is a wonder with not programming jamming steps. Does what it is supposed to do in a simple way

[@Radionut63]

Very simple rig. I like it! :-)

[@spresc2180]

Very nice radio. Makes me want to tackle my RS Pro-2004 scanner with its powering itself off problem. Seemingly 5 billion solder joints, etc.

[@Radionut63]

No time like the present! ;-)

I have a Kenwood TS130S I bought off ebay 2 years ago everything was so packed in there i couldn't even begin to troubleshoot it. I just need to get in there and take the boards out and inspect them but I do have a display just no sound. Thanks for sharing your trouble shooting tips and I subscribed to your channel.

[@Radionut63]

Thank you, if there is anything i can help you with please let me know. :-)

The Dr Of Electronics did it again another successful operation

Thanks for sharing. The printed circuit board is from the fragile phenolic. After the repair I would have recapped the print also. There are recap kits offered at eBay. (The TS-130S is from 1982/1983). By the way, replacing the VFO lamp (12 V./50mA) by a LED results in less frequency drift.

[@Radionut63]

I may get into that later. Thanks!

[@Radionut63]

Hola ,El ventilador como funciona? Cuando levanta temperatura enciende solo?

[@Radionut63]

El ventilador se enciende y se apaga solo en función de la temperatura de la radio.

[@motus4084]

@@Radionut63 ahh o sea que cuando levanta temperatura automáticamente se enciende..es asi?

@@motus4084 ¡sí, señor!

[@motus4084]

@@Radionut63 muchas gracias por contestar mi duda...creia que se encendia manual enchufando el pin del cooler al equipo y comenzaba a soplar

[@Radionut63]

@@motus4084 Supongo que si quisieras que el ventilador estuviera encendido el 100% del tiempo, podrías conectarlo para hacer eso.

Faulty switch perhaps?

[@GeorgeGardinier]

[@Radionut63]

No idea...

[@chrishays4835]

No receive or transmit initially either? Didn't mention that...
