[Kenwood] FS: Kenwood TS950S

[John Geiger]

I have for sale a Kenwood TS950S, which was Kenwood's top of the line HF rig until they quit making top of the line HF rigs. This is the model with the built in PS, built in autotuner that loads anything up, built in CW keyer, and dual receive, kind of like a Kenwood TS850 deluxe. Also does 150 watts plus on output-which is what it is rated for-not turned up past specs. 

It has 2 optional filters in it-the YG455CN-1 250hz filter at the 455khz IF, and the YG455S-1 2.4khz SSB filter at the 455khz IF. The YK88S-1 2.4khz SSB filter at the 8.83IF is standard, so you have dual 2.4khz filters in it for SSB.

Now it isn't mint physically or anything like it. It does have some cosmetic problems. The case is in decent condition, no big scratches, dents or gouges but some marks on the case, mainly on the left front of the top.  On the top and sides of the bezel there is something like
plastic tape or so (black in color) put on it to make it look black. Doesn't look real great there but could be fixed. The TS950SD plate is missing off the front.  Some of the lettering on the front is rubbing off but you can read
everything ok. The letter problems are just at the top, below that everything is ok. There are also a few small black marks on the left side of the front panel, but they aren't real large.

It does have the DSP unit attached to it but I unhooked it as it seems that the DSP unit was affecting the ALC level on CW (not on the other modes). The DSP doesn't do much on receive anyways, so I don't miss it. The DSP
unit worked fine on SSB transmit and receive.

Now this is a large radio-really large. It just fits into my station. It comes with the hand mic, power cord, and manual.  I am asking $725 plus shipping for it.  I am guessing that shipping and packing will run $70 or so depending on your location. I can take paypal/check/MO.  In person meetings in the OKC, SW Oklahoma or North Texas area is also possible.
