[Kenwood] TS 930 or TS 850

[Pete Smith]

Well, yes and no - if computer interfacing is important to you, the only option with the 930 is the PIEXX microprocessor board, which is excellent but pricey(~$250).  If you're not that excited about CW, the CW filter in the 930 is not a big deal.  I like my 930 but believe the 850 is a better radio - $300 better?
