Kenwood TS-440S Amateur HF Transceiver

Very fine product that is no longer made.

Very fine product that is no longer made. The receive section is incredible and the transmitter is quite good too. Kenwood even made a receive only radio for those short wave listeners out of this radio! No software defined filtering was used in the manufacture of this item! Just good engineering by a very fine group of folks who did just what they set out to do! The only frustrating thing that immediately comes to mind about the product is that it's not the most efficient of it's type. When the device is in operation there is quite lot of heat that is dissapatted from the unit, indicating that there is a lot of wasted power being used to keep it running. In an application that will require good efficiency such as a power system that employs renewable sources of energy and batteries this radio probably wouldn't be your 1st choice.Read full review

Nice rig, it even has the CW filter installed. I installed the ICs to enable CAT control and worked some DX in FT8 mode last night. Thanks A+++

As promised, it is completely not working. It does have a pair of SSB filters. 1.4 and 1.8 mhz. I am looking forward to making this thing work again. This will be a project to stay sharp.

olde but a goodie

I can receive HF better with this old Kenwood than I do with my 1-year-old 991a. says a lot about Kenwoods quality. It is my first Kenwood but I'm probably going to make them my goto,
