[Kenwood] Kenwood TS 950 SDX needs a DSP Unit! (Conrad & Kathi Nasatka)

Sat Mar 13 21:22:52 EST 2010

Conrad, I once discovered a problem with a SDX having a broken wire in one of the Cinch-Jones connectors going to the SDX rear panel. It may be worth your while to loosen the screws on the cable clamps and drive the small pin out so you can slide the shell 
back enough to see the individual wire connection integrity. A long shot but it allowed me to resolve that problem. 73, -=Rog-K9RB=-

Conrad,
I have a crazy proposition for you. I have a Kenwood TS-950SDX, 43
million Serial Number sitting here on my desk. It has that dreaded
Chip resister pack problem.
I cannot afford to ship it to Clif to get it fixed, nor can I afford
to pay the repair bill, as I am unemployed. Well, I write on my blog
for a living, but I don't make a enough currently to afford all that.
What really stinks is, I do not have any other rig to use. :( and I've
got a brand new antenna, that I and my friend Matt, AC8AC built and
put up over the summer. and I cannot even use it. :(
Anyhow, here is my WILD proposition. I don't expect you to accept it.
But here it is.
If you send me enough money to, or ordered and shipped to me the following:
NEW Astron RS-35A Power Supply (25 amp - 35 amp surge...)
NEW Kenwood TS-2000 with ALL filters Installed (AES does this...)
Ameritron AL-80B (I know it's a stretch, but I thought I'd try it...) Amplifier
and toss in about 150-200 to cover shipping. You would have a Kenwood
TS-950SDX to get your DSP unit out of. It would be just the radio
itself, No Manuals, Boxes or anything. Just the radio.
I doubt you'd be interested in this, but, I thought I'd try.
If interested contact me off list. Although, I won't hold my breath,
lest I turn blue and croak.
73 es tnx...
