We can rebuild yours or find you another good for years of service. We do not service TS120 and TS130 because of weak boards and poor solder joints – we recommend upgrading to 440 or better. We do not service the TS930, 940 and 950 models. We do not service the “hybrid” models.
Specializing in repair and alignment of Kenwood brand ham radio gear, Jahnke Electronics had its start as a consortium of two neighborhood friends in early 2008. Paul brought experience in a recent industrial supply startup business specializing in high end surplus equipment. Steve had been a ham for over 30 years and also was a Motorola trained technician who routinely was repairing and aligning aging ham radio equipment.
Paul, I received my Novice Ticket in 1970, so I have been buying and trading equipment for many years. I grew tired of buying used radios that were represented as "working" and did not. So I did my research and found you. I asked you in an email about finding a TS-930S and you suggested I should buy something from the website as the TS-930S is too heavy to ship safely and has recurring problems. So I purchased a "fully functional" TS-570DG from the website as suggested. It was delivered yesterday professionally packed, on-air ready and IT WORKS! Thanks for all you do for the hobby.

Well the radio arrived Saturday, and Matt wasted no time in firing it up. Works perfectly, looks and feels like new. We both agreed that you are a rare entity these days - someone who takes pride in what they do. There is not much more to say. Thank you for all the excellent communication and please thank Steve for not only his skill, but also his attention to detail, like the control knob tensions. Nothing short of amazing!

Radios should be packed in the original containers the radio came with. If these are not available, they should be wrapped in large bubble wrap extending 2 to 3 inches out from the radio. Make sure that the front of the radio has enough protection. Place it in a box with packing peanuts, tape up and prepare a larger box with an inch or 2 to spare around the first box and fill with peanuts. A reasonable amount of insurance is good, better to have The UPS store or similar pack and ship store, pack it for you and insure it. The usual damage we see is the front controls and displays so make sure those areas are well protected.
With regard to carrier of choice, we have been using UPS and FedEx with success for many years. A typical box size for a radio would be 10x18x20 for 850 or 870. Typical for 440 or 450 would be 9x6x18. You can put your radio in a 20 inch square box but the carrier will assess dimensional weights and charges to that package and it will be very expensive to ship.
We have not seen a radio damaged in shipping when using original double box sets as came from the manufacturer. If you have the double box set, we will be happy to quote you for inbound shipping and send you a label for that shipping with Fedex or UPS. If you do not have original containers, we can send you double box sets for the safe shipping of your radio. We have shipping accounts with UPS and FedEx and generally our rates are competitive or even much better than the over the counter rates at your local UPS Store or similar.
International shipping with US Postal Priority Mail, FedEx and UPS is possible to Canada, Europe and Australia and worldwide. Small parts such as filters, chipsets and cables can easily fit into a flat rate envelope which takes 6 to 10 days and costs $30 to Canada and $40 to the rest of the world.
