The FT-950 being replaced


I agree the FT-950 is a great radio for the price.

When I got mine I had compared the 950 along with the Icom 746pro and the Kenwood 2000.

The Kenwood had such funky styling and tiny little buttons that I didn't care for it. Then the Icoms seemed to have a fairly well known issue with the finals randomly blowing out.

I also really liked the full size feel of the FT-950 and the larger knobs.

I used the 950 a lot on PSK and many of the HF contests and also on 6 meters during the June VHF contest.

Only retired the 950 when I got a killer deal on a different radio.

What did you replace it with?

That FTdx 1200 has a lot of nice features. It will be interesting to see how well it sells and competes with other rigs in its price range.
 
I ran into a guy that was downsizing to an apartment. He made me a deal on an Icom 756 pro that I couldn't pass up.

    Hello gentlemen and Ladies. I have the dreaded RCI-2990 receive issue where my radio gets distorted when people get close to my location. I found the C90 Capacitor, but I can not for the life of me find the C89 capacitor. Can or does anyone have a picture of the exact location of C89 ? Thank you in advance, Wes
