Hello,
I am new here, and have searched for information about how to work around the fact that the TA-100W amp modules are NLA for my beloved KA-9100.
There are several threads in which someone says, "I know a work around", and then... Nothing.
There was one thread in which the pinouts are compared between a TA-100WA, and a Sanken S-100W, showing how the wiring must be revised to connect one of them in the place of a TA, which sounds great at first. But that thread ends with, "but the S-100W has no V/I limiter, so one must be created to use it in a Kenwood...". Ok, how?
There was also a thread with a schematic posted of a Sanken S-100W, which is nice, but without a hint about the necessary tricks to fitting one to a Kenwood (other than knowing the different pinout), isn't all that much help.
There are several threads (over 5 years old) where someone says, "send me a pm, I know a workaround", but no closure. One guy who calls himself "echowars" says he knows how, but his email listed in that posting doesn't work (I just tried it today).
c'mon guys, is there a link that someone can share with me detailing the necessary steps to revive a dead KA-9100, one which, until just recently, works perfectly except for dead TA-100WA modules?
