Thanks to all for the suggestions. I have a couple good options for repairs
now. I checked around for used ones, but, of course when one is looking to
buy one, the price is ranging from $500 to $700. If, I am going to spend
that kind of money, might as well treat myself to a TS-480. Again, thanks
to all.

You might try Old Ham Dave,
tel: 828-622-0115
http://www.oldhamdave.com/.
He repairs vintage gear, but I'd call him first.
Another one is Avvid Kenwood Service, http://www.avvid.com/, 214-850-0973.
He has a link to EHam.net reviews.
You can find more with a google search.

Greetings all,
My Kenwood TS-440SAT has just developed a problem where the speaker audio
is down by 95 percent. The AF gain full up barely makes things audible via
either the internal or external speaker. So, any recommendations for a good
reasonable place to have these old rigs serviced. Many thanks.

Hello Tom,
I finally found a good use for the ALS600. It makes a good intermediate
amplifier to drive the Henry 8K Ultra. The 8K Ultra takes approximately
400 watts to drive it to full output. Since I don't have a 400 watt
transceiver like the Yaesu FTDX-9000MP, I need to increase the output of my
200 watt Icom to fully satisfy the Henry. Drive the ALS600 to about 375
watts, then drive the 8K with the output of the ALS600, it works great,
HiHi.

Subject: ALS600 Question
To all those using the ALS600:
I was doing some cleaning and re-arranging in the home shack today, and
decided to re-acquaint myself with my ALS600, since I don't think I had
used it since the Michigan QSO Party contest in late April.
Anyway, I am wondering what the "remote" setting on the ALS600 band select
switch does?
For those who have the ALS600, the first six positions cover 160 through 10
meters, with 12 and 10 meters being accessed via the auxiliary position.
The last position on the band switch is after the auxiliary position, and
is labeled "remote".
I can look the info up in the manual, but if someone knows off hand, I'd
appreciate not having to dig through the manual to find it. (smile)
