I had been in the process of installing the fix described inyour newsletter (late 1986 issue) and found that it had already been installed on my TS-940S (S/N7100269). The factory installation had one problem, the resistors used for R120/R129 were color codedfor 900 ohm (close enough to the 1K in the newsletter), but in actuality measured 465 ohms.Apparently, Kenwood had gotten a bad batch of resistors from some supplier and had not discovered theproblem.At the time you indicated that was the first report you had received of the resistor value problem andrecommended that I contact Kenwood. I called them and was told that they had not heard of the problembefore. They also stated that a new fix for the reciprocal mixing noise problem had been developed andhttp://homepages.ihug.co.nz/ jaking/TS-940 02.htm5/14/2006

KENWOOD TS-940 PAGEPage 29 of 151was described in a Service Bulletin dated March 2, l987. I requested a copy of the bulletin and haveattached a copy of it to this letter for your information. (See Issue No. 76, Pg. 30 and 31 for KenwoodService Bulletin No. 917 and schematics pertaining to this subject.)Since receiving the bulletin from Kenwood, I have installed it on my TS-940S and found it to make avery significant improvement in weak signal handling in the presence of nearby strong signals. I wouldrecommend highly that anyone experiencing reciprocal mixing problems install the new fix. It should benoted that some of the newer TS-940S have the fix installed. I was preparing to install the fix on afriends's TS-940 which had a serial number 100 lower than my own and found that the fix had beenfactory installed. Apparently, more than one manufacturing site is used and serial numbers are given toeach in blocks. Consequently, it is possible for higher serial numbers to be produced at one locationwithout the fix, while another site any have cut in the fix but is using numbers from a lower block.The quickest way to verify whether the fix has been installed is to check R120 and R129 on the PLLUnit (X50-2020-00). If these two resistors are 3.3 ohms in value [Editor correction Service Bulleting917 says 3.3 Kilo-Ohms], the fix is already installed. Do not depend on the on the absence of C176,C180 or C181 as an indication, as earlier attempts (factory or field) to correct the mixing noise problemmay have removed these same capacitors. The instructions in the bulletin state that when making themodifications to the RF Unit (X44- 1660-00), it is easiest to move C132/C133 to the foil side of theboard. As the component side of the section of the RF Unit containing these two capacitors has beenfilled with wax, it is definitely not easier. The factory installation of the fix left C132/C133 on thecomponent side and installed the R154/C193 and R155/C194 series RC networks on the foil side. Thisis definitely easier. As a side note, the installation of the fix took me about 2 hours. Both the PLL Unitand RF Unit modifications must be completed before the transceiver is usable. If you install just thePLL Unit modifications and then try the receiver, CW signals will should like raw AC. Also, to makelife simple, do not remove each of the boards above the PLL Unit individually. The easy way to gainaccess to the PLL Unit is to remove the top two screws (one on each side) holding the front panel andloosen the bottom tow screws. This allows the front panel to be tilted forward. The speaker assemblyand all the boards above the PLL unit may then be removed as a unit by removing only 4 screws andtilting this unit towards the front of the TS-940S. No cables need be removed from the boards above thePLL Unit.I hope the above information is helpful to you in dealingwith the reciprocal mixing noise problem.
