How to recognize the Kenwood TS-950s from the Kenwood TS-950sd.
What is the difference between them.
In what years were produced.
TS-950S
TS-950SD
.

I do not know there years of production but the SD model has DSP and the S does not as that is the only difference i'm aware of between them. You can go to Rig Pix for some of your answers.

Ok RigPix:only.

OK i copied this from another site and this was the only comment about the SDX..

I think you have that backwards. The SD model was the same as the base
950S with the DSP installed. The SDX was a later version. There was a
QST review of the SDX that concentrated on the differences. Ones I
remember are DSP installed with some more functions, different types of
final transistors (bipolar vs FET I think), some additional memory
functions. I believe the consensus was that the SDX was a better
receiver but the S/SD is a cleaner transmitter.

You can also go to E Ham.net and go to reviews and read owners comments on all three of the 950's...

Colleagues got two more pictures of who can read the serial number year of manufacture.
what is the date of manufacture.
.

I do not know how to date Kenwood radios but the 30 million number tells me it is a older one.

Owner want 1200 euros
Is this a good price?
(It is difficult to decide which to buy.
Kenwood TS-950SD (1200 EURO)
For the same price I Yaesu FT-1000D with (1989.XII year). (1200 euros)

From what i've heard is that the Kenwood 950 is a nightmare for Technicians to work on. As for the Yaesu does it have the updated ROM? I know it would be a hard choice to pick from but as far as i know $1200 euro's sounds about like how they would bring in American Dollars of close to $2,000 dollars depending of course the over all condition of the radios. I do not think either one will dissapoint you.

I chose the Yaesu FT-1000D.
How do photos of the owner.
I'll show the pict
ures measure.

For not long.

A friend has a Kenwood TS-950sdx
his number is: 70200***
What is the date of manufacture ???
