I was given a Kenwood TS-520S in November 2020 that had belonged to a silent key.
This is what is known as a hybrid radio, since it is mostly solid state circuitry with a vacuum tube final amplifier. It powers on and appears to receive well, but I haven’t tried transmitting yet to test out the vacuum tubes. I’ll need to run through the test and tuning procedures before I try that.
