Frequently Asked Questions

  • Q: The TS-830S can operate in which frequency range?
  • A: A suitable range starting from but not limited to 1.8 MHz in the 160m band to 29.7 MHz in the 10m band.
  • Q: What power output can I expect from the TS-830s?
  • A: Expect AT LEAST 100-220W PEP when operating SSB mode in conjunction with TS-830S. CW operation should yield better results with an advance of at least 180W output.
  • Q: Is it possible for the TS-830S to be utilized on the new frequencies set out by WARC?
  • A: Absolutely, the TS-830S is able to operate on the newly introduce WARC frequencies of 10,18 and 24.5 MHz.
  • Q: What are the electricity needs of this device?
  • A: TS-830S works on 120V AC which can be modified to 220 or 240V as well and runs on 50/60 Hz.
  • Q: What are the TS-830S requirements to ensure that it remains in working condition?
  • A: While it should not need adjusting on a frequent basis, it is best practice to clean it periodically, check the internal connections and ensure that it works within the recommended range. For repair and internal alignment, consult a professional.
  • Q: Could you suggest a suitable microphone which can work well with TS-830S?
  • A: The TS-830S can work with a 500Ω to 50 kΩ impedance mic, however, it is best to use a quality microphone with an appropriate attenuator to avoid issues caused by higher output mics.
