Kenwood TS-480SAT seemingly back in production

[Dereka5]

I was led to believe that these were discontinued circa 2019, however, this one I have bought has a serial number of C1510032 - suggesting it was made in April 2021.

Anyone know if Kenwood have now started a re-run of these, or if they're just letting them go in drips n drabs?

Most of the timee production is stopped it is lack of components available for them processors etc that go out of production.
Maybe they found a batch of them and did a re reun of them.
