RW>>> TS-520 stored in a box since 1985...
 RD>> Roy you wouldn't happen to have the digital VFO for the TS-520
 RD>> would you?
 RW> Didn't know there was such an animal...
 Roy the Ts-520 and 530 had -two- external VFO units as options.
 The digital unit had a digital display and 5 or 6 memory positions for your
favourite frequencies and splits.
 The analog unit is easy to find,but the digital one is a rare bird and most 
I have seen have been either scrap from `finger-poking' attempts to gain 
illegal freqs,or plain overpriced for the poor condition they are in.
 RD>> I've been looking for one for ages to complete my TS-530
 RW> My TS-520 is kinda like that.  Some of the first models came with a 
2vdc
 RW> cable.  The later versions don't have this feature.
 All I need to complete mine is the monitor scope SM-220,the digital VFO unit
and the non-amplified MC-50 or MC-60 desk microphone.
 I was lucky enough to find the external filtered speaker and the phone-patch
unit for the TS-520/530 line at a hamfest last year.
 Three more parts and it will be a complete station.
 RD>> Only ones I have found are the analog VFO's and most were in
 RD>> very poor next to destroyed condition. Any ideas where I might
 RW> No idea, but building your own shouldn't be that complicated.  Buy one 
f
 RW> those analog VFO's and convert it to digital.  Without looking, I'd say 
you
 RW> could use an AD converter and drive a digital display with the output.
 I'd build one,but I am really trying to complete this HF set-up as it was my
first rig and I'd like to find all the original TS-530-S options I can for 
t.
 Guess I'll keep hunting through hamfests and hope to find what I need.
