does anyone know what the model number of the kenwood 6 meter portable was?
I found one at a flee market recently and didn't even know one was
made....basically a medium sized radio, with 6 meters SSB, am and possibly
FM and a telescoping antenna that came out of the top...didn't get a chance
to see if it worked on batteries or not.
thought it was the ts600 but might have miss remembered the model.
