[Kenwood] ts-950sdx or ts-870

[Keith Barrett]

		Hi Group,

Due to aging and reliability issues, it is time to replace my old valve 
equipment.

I have narrowed the choice to a ts-950sdx (would need to be second 
hand) or a new ts-870.  I would appreciate comments on reliability and 
performance of these tranceivers.

Also, before I part with my hard earned cash, is the ts-950sdx likely to 
be replaced?

Thanks for any comments.

Regards
