fINAL nd tuner unit. All boards. This TS-950SDX was a EBAY special!
The dude said it worked. for $1799, ok.
did get ultra rare DX contacts. The RF speech proc with 150W does
make you stand out. I use the 1.8KHZ + 2.7 kc filter and I roll of the bass at
300HZ with the basic DSP built in. for TX. This way I can run up to 12db
(absolute peak) of true RF compression. So my bandwidth is perhaps 2.4KC max.
The Rig did the old smoker-roo trice on the final. I let a real hack try
to repair it.
I now have 2 TS-950SDX,s
1) For parts
2) The second ebay special worked for three weeks. It had the fused bias
resistor mod, so no smoke.
It works great. However it is now a QRP rig. Maybe 15W out max.
So I have all the parts to a 950SDX. I also need advice on power on the
working rig.
It has to be simple. Sure wish Cliff was still in business!

PS. Everybody thought I was a Moron for buying TS-850's TS-950's and TR-7's
and 1 R-7A.
The R-7A is ultra rare.
Also the secret is out. The TS-850, and 950SDX were the best radio's
Kenwood made.
Try to buy an 850, 950SDX or TR-7/R-7A on EBAY these days. They simply are
not up for sale anymore.
The TS-950SDX is just as good as those new 8-12 thousand dollar radio,s
