I bought a nice lightly used TS-2000X and used it for my first ever Moonbounce QSO recently but the other night I noticed the audio was dropping to a very quiet level as was the received strength on seemingly all bands. My first assumption is this is the dreaded filter issue we all seem top know about. What I have heard of the filter issue is there are generally static crash type noises before the total failure of the filters. I did not have any such static noises but am thinking the dropping out issue is still the filters. I plan to replace them all soon but am wondering if anyone else has had similar issues and this cured it? I would like to fix it once if I can rather than do the filters and not solve it only to have to dig into it again. Ideas? Options? Anyone?
I like the radio for it's power output and convenience and plan to take it on an EME road trip into northern Canada mid 2019 so any help is appreciated. I suppose if the filter replacement doesn't do it I shall send her in to Kenwood for a full workup.
Thanks,
