[Kenwood] Kenwood TS 950 SDX needs a DSP Unit!

[Rob Atkinson]

Conrad,

I am sorry for your predicament but what do you expect people to do if no
one has a spare part?  it isn't like a 950 owner is going to keep an extra
of that or canabalize his own rig.   If I could wave a magic wand and make
one appear I would.

You may have to get another 950 and use yours as a parts rig but I would
start thinking about ditching the 950 for a more modern rig.

Conrad's predicament is not unique.  The older Kenwoods are ticking bombs of
unobtainium chips and it is only a matter of time before they fail.  Run
yours while you can but be prepared to move on.  Getting a parts rig just
buys you time.
