Brand: Kenwood

The Kenwood M-62 (62S) is a mid-range, dual conversion, shortwave radio, first introduced in the late 1970s. It was produced by the British electronics company, Kenwood Communications Limited, and was popular among ham radio operators, government agencies, and shortwave listening enthusiasts due to its high-quality construction, receiver performance, and robust features.Some of the notable features of the Kenwood M-62 (62S) include:1. Dual conversion design: This design provides excellent selectivity and image rejection, reducing interference and improving sensitivity.2. MDC (Mobile Data Control) and SDC (Subscriber Data Control) interface: These features allow the M-62 to interface with other digital devices, such as computers and modems.3. 10, 40, and 200 kHz filters: These bandwidth-limiting circuits provide excellent selectivity, helping to eliminate unwanted noise and interference.4. Digital S/M (Signal-to-Noise) and SWR (Standing Wave Ratio) metering: These meters provide real-time, numerical readouts of signal strength and matching conditions, making it easier to optimize transmission and reception.5. External antenna and tuner connectors: These standardized connectors allow users to easily connect external amplifiers, preamps, and antennas for improved performance.The Kenwood M-62 (62S) remains a highly regarded, collectible radio today due to its performance and historical significance as a pioneering shortwave receiver. It is still used by some hobbyists and aircraft communications enthusiasts, but its components, such as the M-62's digital LED indicator boards, have also become sought-after collectibles.
