I've got a length of coax going out to my van, connected to a 20m hamstick this evening, TS120V on my desk making contact after contact at 10 watts QRP. For some weird reason the TS120V at 10W into a severely compromised antenna performs consistently better than my other radios at 100W into a longwire or dipole.
Tomorrow i whould have my radio. Ill do a youtube video on it alomg with the 120 manua ltuner. Ill unbox it too. Its like you saod you really dont know what youre getting till you get it lol
I still have my TS-120V which I bought in 1980. It is about 500Hz off frequency on 40 and 1Khz on 20M, it has a few battle scars, probably from traveling over 100,000 Km up and down the Australian east coast and across to Western Australia many times. I should put it on the bench, probably needs a leaf blower to blow the dust off it first.
Bloody great tried and tested reliable radios for sure Ray, great story having it from 1980, that's a true historical treasure for sure. Cheers Brenton vk3cm 😁😁😁
@@brentonmeadowsvk3cm I have one for sale, but it seems no one is interested. I am the original owner. Bought it, & the Daiwa SS330W power supply in 2015.

KENWOOD・・・TRIO１２０V（Japanese）を最近手にいれました。
古いがいい無線機です。
G'day mate, do you have a spot you sell old rigs like this from?
I know one radio you might not have. Icom IC-718.
And your correct, I just sold our last boxed 718 a couple of months back, nice radios 😁😁

@@christophermarshall5765 I heard they've been discontinued. Should be people looking for them secondhand soon since they can't be bought new.
@@MrSuperheterodyne I have one of those radios. It’s for sale
