Kenwood Marine Radio TS 870 User Manual

Kenwood TS-870 HF Transceiver  
International Radio Filter Installation  
The International Radio filters are easily installed in the TS-870 transceiver. The #94 is  
used for 8.830MHz and #96 for 455kHz IF stages. The most difficult aspect is removing  
the stock filters. The ground terminal of these filters require the most attention and care  
must be taken to not remove the eyelet connecting the top and bottom foil traces.  
Best wishes,  
Dick – AL7B  
Coax Preparation  
Four lengths of RG-174 type coax are used for connection of the new filters to the radio  
circuit boards.  
Two coax assemblies for each filter  
Each assembly about 4.5” in length  
o Remove about ¾” of the outside jacket.  
o Cut the shield braid back about ½” to expose ¼” of braid.  
o Small gauge wire is connected to the braid. No. 30 wire wrap wire works  
well.  
ƒ Strip about ¾” of the insulation from the wire.  
ƒ Wrap the wire several times around the braid.  
ƒ Solder the wire to the shield.  
o Remove ¼” insulation from the center conductor and tin.  
o Install heat shrink tubing over the coax shield.  
o Cut the braid wire to length, about ¾” and remove ¼” insulation.

8.830MHz #94 Filter  
The INRAD #94 filter connects to the RF Board that is located on the radio bottom.  
Remove the shield from the RF Board  
Make careful note of the connections used. This board has many test locations so  
will not have cables or coax installed. The use of a digital camera would be  
helpful before proceeding.  
Remove the RF Board and cables as required.  
Remove the stock 3kHz filter – Labeled YK-88S2.  
Install a coax at each filter connection point, noting the shield connects to the  
circuit board ground.  
Install the RF Board.  
Install the shield on the RF Board.  
Solder the coax leads to the #94 filter, noting the shield connects to the filter  
ground. Either terminal set can be used for input or output.  
Install the filter to the chassis closest to the front panel using thin double stick  
tape.  
Bench testing of the radio showed no circuit tuning was required after installing the new  
filter.
