As I noted in an earlier comment, the Kenwood TS430-S reads out from a ROM which translates dial rotation into what it thinks the frequency might be (approximately) for that dial rotation. It can be 200 Hz off or maybe more, even though it reads out to 10 Hz. If there is a hardware failure, it could be anywhere, while still reading out an "in-band" frequency. I hope the 930 is better designed. Incidentally, if anybody cares, I have a mod for better CW keying for the TS120-S and TS130-S. If you do high speed CW work, it really makes an improvement. -73 de W3IKG John Sangster jhs at MITRE-Bedford
