A mobile mounting kit gives you the ability to use the Kenwood TS-120 in your vehicle or marine craft.

An external speaker gives you the capability to listening to the sound waves streaming from the transceiver anywhere within the room. You also can create a wider listening space by installing several speakers throughout an area. An antenna tuner increases the frequency to your transceiver so you don’t miss out on any transmissions coming into the bands you are following. The simplicity of the Kenwood TS-120 transceiver makes it perfect for the amateur ham radio operator. The included owner’s manual gives you tips and tricks for operating the transceiver, offers helpful setup installation instructions, and even walks you through repairs that may be necessary from time to time. You can locate a current online owner’s manual should you need an extra that can be downloaded and easily stored on your laptop, desktop computer, smartphone, or tablet for accessing on the go.

  • Vintage but Classic TS-120s from Hamandhifia

    Purchased a TS-120S from Hamandhifi. Simple but fantastic workhorse of an HF rig. As described by them it has full output power on all bands and receives well on all bands. Only has SSB and CW but it is as great of a radio as it is simple. Pairing it with a cheap generic replacement CB mic (rewired the connector), for this price range, this unit has excellent transmit audio! Now of course this transceiver isn't going to have all of the features and capabilities of a multi thousand $$ HF radio. However if you recently upgraded to general and are looking for a first rig consider a TS-120s. A tested good working one would be a great choice. This is not my first HF rig but I do plan on keeping it for a long time. Personally I love the look of these early 80's era radios and am happy to have it in my collection. Easy and fun to operate and in the 2 weeks I've owned it I've made contacts all over the country. 73s to all!

  • KENWOOD TS120S

    Very nice rig, built like a tank can be taken for mobile trips also. Performance equals to big rigs, side by side comparison to the Icom Pro3 shows equal capabilities. Technology inside the rig is relatively old, but it holds good against the current rigs in good stead. Always wanted one in my shack and good that I could find one from Hamsandhifi in pretty excellent condition. Their packaging system is fool proof and capable of withstanding the rough handling of logistics people.
