[OKDXA] FT950 Opinions

[John AA5JG]

For the price, I would think that a used Icom 756PRO or 756PRO2 would be much better. I would definitely take one over a FT950.  With the 756PRO series you get dual receive and a bandscope, plus a built in voice keyer.  A bandscope for a FT950 costs close to a thousand dollars, a voice keyer is a hundred or so, and dual receive is not available.
