[Kenwood] FS: Kenwood TS950SD dual receive HF radio

[k3ac at aol.com]

Thanks very much to Cliff Holland for clearing up the differences in all the 950 versions. As I recall, the SDX was Kenwood’s first venture into DSP design so was a hybrid, retaining ability to use analog crystal filters, as was used in the 850. When the later TS-870 was released a few years after the 950SDX, the DSP design was an improved design with elimination of all analog filters and addition  of DNR and Beat Cancel (auto notch). . In other words, a pure digital design, which was carried through to the current TS-990/590 radios.

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. 73 John AF5CC
