Hi Bob.
For what it is worth, although it will cost you an arm and a leg, both the
voice board and the tone encoder for that radio are available from the
PIEXX Company. It takes the TU5 tone board. I looked into that a couple
of years ago when I was contemplating buying a Kenwood TS711/811 pair. The
guy was asking $900 for the pair, and for the age I wasn't keen on spending
that much, especially because I suspected that he might have had the golden
screwdriver inside of it. I decided that I was halfway to the price of a
Kenwood TS2000S (actually more than halfway time I bough two voice boards
and two tone encoders), so I took the plunge and bought the TS2000S
instead. That is the last TS811A I've seen.
I had a Kenwood TS711A briefly a number of years ago, but the transmitter
was very messed up on it--it would only put out about 4 watts. Nice radio,
otherwise, but since I noticed the power level problem immediately, I sent
it back and got my money back.
