| 1. Status of Sales of Amateur Radio "TS-2000 (Black Version)" |
The amateur radio All-Mode Multibander "TS-2000 (Black Version) that KENWOOD announced on Thursday, July 6 as the first of its 60th Anniversary Model series received a sensational public response. In Japan, the company planned a limited sale of 60 units, but received orders for over three times that amount during the application period between Wednesday, July 19 and Monday, August 21.
Also in overseas markets (the Americas, Europe, and Asia including China), the pace at which KENWOOD has received orders for this limited version since its release in July, has been more than twice as fast as the orders for amateur radio systems of a similar specification that we normally sell. The number of units ordered almost reached 510, the planned number of units for limited sale, by the end of August, so the company completed shipment of all units today.
KENWOOD takes this opportunity to express its sincere gratitude to those customers who have placed orders for this product. |
