[Kenwood] FS: Kenwood TS950SD dual receive HF radio

Tue Dec 12 18:37:02 EST 2017

The TS950S had minimal filters, no DSP, and no TCXO. The 950SD added all 
but 2 filters, a TCXO, and a DSP unit.
The 950SDX did not have a (S) model and had all that a SD had (still 
with 2 empty filter slots) plus an upgraded DSP unit and menus to 
control it. The Control unit, PLL unit (DDS IC's), Final unit (FET 
finals), and DSP unit were different.
And from a later comment the 870 was designed after the 950 and had a 
later design DSP. The DSP unit has an input/output frequency of 100kHz 
which is hardly audio unless you are a bat. The comparable Icom to the 
950 was the 781. The 775 was a later design.
