More Nini! More Nini! What a beautiful dog, Peter! Thanks for showing us what she looks like! Oh, and thanks for the tutorial too! I didn't realize how small those SMD components are until you showed the old transistor in comparison!

Thank you for the vid Peter, I am getting the 990 next week, but I will let the shop do the work on it, love your dog 73

Wow! That radio is amazing! Great job and thanks for sharing!

Thanks for this, very interesting but very small components. I have just bought a 990 and fortunately it was "widebanded" from new.

Very nice and easy peasy modification off course for SMD qualified technicians! Great Video Peter

This is how a pro does it , uses the correct tools for the job £450 solder treezers .Seen so many butcher jobs on youtube its nice to see how it should be done .Thanks for sharing .

Thanks for the tutorial Peter. nicely done my friend. Love the little dog.

Your dog is the star of the video, I have a 14 yr old toy poodle, shes is my baby, she is never more than 2 feet from me Great video thank you Peter

Wow, first a fantastic video as per usual, and your soldering iron, love it so easy for smd, found one on eBay, again fantastic video Peter.

A dream radio..And excellent advice, If you don't know what you are doing. do not touch. Take it to an expert. Thanks for an excellent video.

Awesome videos! Thank you for sharing Peter! We have two Shepherds as well. Love the breed... Cheers from N4ZOP...

Thanks excellent video and its pronunciation easy to understand greetings from Caraca Venezuela

Great vid Peter enjoyed watching. You have a beautiful dog she looks very smart just like her owner :)

Pooch is either saying it is time for dinner, or time to go outside!

Mini looks like a mini German Shepherd! I have three German Shepherds laying under my computer/Radio desk.. That's a nice radio!

Behind every great man is his dawg!

Danke Peter, Streicheleinheiten an den klasse Hund, schönes Wochenende, freue mich auf bald. 55 73

BEAUTIFUL PUP!! BIG mistake, Peter!! You brought you pup on camera, now EVERYONE will be asking about her! lol Dogs always steal the show, just like the steal our hearts. Thanks for the great video and the great information and today, thanks for letting us all meet your gorgeous GSD!! :-D 73 de N0BPS

Wow what a lovely dog!!!!

Great video I can see why I got the dealer to mod my 590 SG!! Phil M0PSC

Hi Peter once more and hello to Nini from Chance and Tyler,our English springer spaniels. Thanks for another very interesting video. 73 de G0WXU.

Superb video, Peter. So clearly and professionally explained. Oh, and I love love love the dog. I wouldn't be without mine. Greetings from Wales. MW6WHL 73

Nice mod there Peter.. I think Nini is looking for her dinner :) Regards John

Beautiful Shepard

Big thumbs up mate

Very good, Sir

TNX Peter...I really like the darker face German Shepherds, so much more like the original when the breed was introduced (only within the last hundred years ago or so as I recall?). 73 - Dino KL0S

Love the Dog Peter :)

good job is a varry nice radio

tnx 4 the video, '73

Like Kenwood, love Alsatians!

Hi there again Peter. So that R335 resistor that you so very carefully removed is an electrical short in the control circuit that has to be an open circuit for the Tx to function fully open. Love your dog. We have two older Springer Spaniels plus a new pup which is a crossed Westy and Shitzu. I lost my German Sheperd a few years ago and still miss her very much. I did not get a very good veiw of your super, heated tweezers. ? Are they a new line of accessory tools for SMD work. I have not seen before ?. I am getting old and behind with new practices Peter. They do apear to be very good for that purpose. What I do really need is a new pair of eyes to replace my 73-year-old pair. Before I finish off, I must ask you if by chance you know an old freind of mine who I met many years ago in Hildesheim. He is DL7FZ - Ulrich Wintzer who used to work for Blaupunkt then in 1965.

A nice lotto win to get one

Thank you very much for your information! 73 Ernest PA3DLP.

Great Video as always, That small of SMT is challenging and I would not attempt it myself as yet as I do not have the greatest of vision in my eyes, I have had cataract surgery on both eyes and while they both SEE pretty good my right eye is a little betterthan my left as the left eye had more internal problems, But I am not complaining as without the surgery I would be otherwisequite blind by now in my left eye especially. So I limit myself to THROUGH HOLE circuit board only that I can do quite well and I am happy with doing!! LOVE your DOG Give him a HUG for me !!! An amateur radio operator that I know has a dog called "RADIO" the dog has real tall large ears and is a BLAST to look at !!!! John Bellas KC2UVN

Nice doggy , give it a pet / scratch for John Thanks again

And now... nice CB radio

love the dog

Tranquility Base arrives

hi peter where you bean haven't seen much of you lately hope all ok cheers and 73s

Now you have to make an monthly dog update 🐺

great video as always,nice nice looking dog and thanks for all of your videos kj4si

Wow, nice dog :)

Thanks Peter for the very nice look into the TS990. Good video. One question... how do I get a service book for my TS 990s?I do not see It on the Kenwood TS 990s page.Jim

Good job. Beautiful dog. Hugs from the friend of Brazil. PY1LO

Great video thanks.... Just one question.. Did you have to perform a full reset when switching the radio back on for the first time?

6:00 I aways knock things over or break things when I do something like that...

Good video Peter, like all your others. By the way, in the image at 6:56, it looks like the chassis of the IC47 chip is damaged. More precisely on foot number 7. Is my observation incorrect?

I think your dog wanted to be the first to transmit on the new band, 73's

Considering recent developments, you might consider burning that shirt! 73 DE KI6DCB

What a great show as always, Peter. However, many new o the 60m band German operators are using MUCH MORE POWER than is legal from Germany. In England we can use much more power, yet when working German stations, you know full well there is a PA at the back end driving an antenna with gain. I wonder if the surreptitious used of the PIN ATTENUATOR placed in the naughty boy's coaxial cable would remedy the problem. German hams. Please, play the game fairly.

Monster Radio.... And The Dog will be go out :)

Thanks again Peter for a nice video. I have a TS990S and would like your opinion on the S meter settings. I measure on 20 meters that for a S9 it is 75 DBm where as I normally set it for 73 dbm or 50Micor volts I also measured my TS 480 and it was set for the same.Does Kenwood use a different level for S9 and if they do any idea why? Jim

Hi, Peter. Have you made a video on repair of VSWR meters?

Hello. With which programming language is the radio system and graphical interface made?

I would have expected Kenwood to control this through software in their flagship radio but apparently not. Such a mod would be impossible to pull this off with a Flexradio. By the way, the unexpected guest appearance was very refreshing :-)

I wonder what kenwood has against jumpers or just snipping a metal bridge.

Can it not be opened just for 60 metres? I just did this for my Icom 9100. I can open it just for 60, leaving it blocked for everything else.

HI Peter, if the 335 is removed is the 990 transmit on 40 MHz ?

Thanks, kiss to nene :)

Hi if ever you get a chance please show same mod to go on 60 metre band for my Yaesu FT450d here in the uk, thankyou paul

They should do this in software

Very Informative...Thanks...73 When the radio is upside down, what to call the 'waterfall' display ? :-)

BNN

If you are a Ham and can't do this, sell your radio and buy some some marbles.

nein Nein NEIN... no No NO!! My TS-990s is as is from the factory. Want 27Mhz CB or other, go buy a radio to play with. The TS-990S is a beautiful radio. And wash your mouth out with soap when talking TS-990S mods 🙂

if you don't know to deal with SMD components on an $7,500 radio leave it a lone.... :) dog "what are you doing i need you to look at me"
