The new RIT/XIT Encoder replacement for the Kenwood TS870 transceiver

This Encoder unit is a aftermarked replacement for the Kenwood P/N W02-1861-05 (mounted on the RF UNIT P/N X44-3210-00 I/9), which is no longer available as original spare part.


This Channel Encoder unit is 100% compatible with the original Kenwood p/n W02-1861-05 (mounted on the RF UNIT P/N X44-3210-00 I/9), with 24 pulses per rotation without detens, the same shaft size (len.=25mm, diam.=6mm) and all soldering pads are in the same location as on the original unit, which permit a easy replacement of the original Kenwood RIT/XIT Encoder.

The board is delivered as full assembled with the incremental encoder and the 3 pin header, ready for soldering on the RF UNIT P/N X44-3210-00 I/9.
