I needed a back up HF rig in the shack and always liked the TS-440. Stumbled across this one which had all issues fixed, and I must say is working like brand new. Wonderful signal reports with quality Kenwood audio. If you can find one without any issues, its a great second or third rig for the experience ham, and a great first rig for a new ham. Highly recommend!

I purchased my TS-440 from "Ham Stuff" in Geneva FL. It arrived well packed and safely, no shipping problems. I started building an antenna to use with it. I have a total of about thirty dollars invested in the antenna system which includes a new 50' RG-8X coax. The antenna is a three wire fan dipole oriented for a north-south radiation pattern.The antenna tuner in the radio matches the antenna perfectly on 40, 20, and 15 meters with an SWR of less than 1.4:1. So far I have made one contact in Hawaii (off the end of the antenna) and one in east central France. Lots of of other contacts, most of which have given me great signal reports. The radio has operated flawlessly so far and has exceeded my expectations for a radio this old. I would recommend "Ham Stuff" to anyone looking for great gear at a fair price. Thanks Paul!Read full review

I bought this model after hearing and reading about them as an all around radio after a few mods were done. I like the radio I bought as some of the mods had been done Its an older radio but is very simple to operate as it dose not use menus, only knobs and buttons. Radio does not have DSP as it is older but I can live with that. I would buy this radio again if it has had some of the major mods and the price is right.
good parts
