[Kenwood] FS: Kenwood TS950SD dual receive HF radio

Tue Dec 12 18:01:20 EST 2017

Hi John,

The SDX is an almost completely different radio.  You can make a Kenwood
TS950S a 950SD by adding the filters and DSP unit. There is no way to make
a 950S or 950SD into a 950SDX.  Check out the QST review of the 950SDX for
a list of the differences.
