Hi John.
You are correct, although you wouldn't think of it is a mobile by today's
standards because it probably had as big a footprint as the
TS2000S. However, you could either plug a 13.8 volt DC cord into it and
run it in a vehicle, or plug an AC cord into it and run it off wall
current. As I commented earlier, 6 meters was not very popular in the
1970s because of TVI issues and Kenwood probably didn't make much off the
TS600S, which is probably why they didn't make anything for a few years in
the early 1980s.
