Can anyone summarize the differences between the Kenwood TS-820 and
TS-820S ? I have heard that the '820 had no digital frequency display,
but that they were otherwise the same. Is this correct? (I know that
there was an optional kit to add the digital display). If not, what
other differences were there ?

My rig has "TS-820" on the front panel and rear nameplate, but it does
include a digital frequency display. Is it really a TS-820, or an
early TS-820S ?

Thanks & 73,

You heard correctly. I have a TS-820S, and the only difference between
the 820 and the 820S is that the S has the digital display built in. It
mentions this right on the first page of the operating manual.
