[50mhz] Kenwood TS950SDX trade for Yaesu FT897D

[John AA5JG]

I have for trade a Kenwood TS950SDX HF transceiver, which as you might know is the top of the line, best Kenwood HF rig ever made.  It does dual receive, where you can put each receiver in a separate ear, and has a whole host of QRM fighting tools, plus built in DSP.  I hate to part with this rig, but it is too large for my rearranged station setup.  It comes with the hand mic, RM-1 remote controller, original Kenwood double box, and power cord.  It has the stock 500hz CW filters in the 2nd and 3rd IFs.  The rig works great, but is not mint physically.  There are a few marks on the left side of the case, but the top and front panel look very nicely.

I would be interested in trading for a recent Yaesu FT897D and some cash since that would give me VHF/UHF coverage as well. Accessories with the 897D would also be nice. I would consider selling outright for $1550.  A local deal in the OKC/Dallas/Tulsa area would be nice since this is a large, heavy rig, but shipping is possible.

Anyone interested in one of the best rigs out there?
