Stepping back into the early '90s golden era of HF radio! ✨
🔀 @f1mij @pj4ish @ki5uev
Behold the legendary Kenwood TS-950SDX — introduced in 1992 as the ultimate flagship rig built for serious DX hunters and contesters.
From its adjustable 20–150W RF power (SSB/CW/FSK/FM) driven by MRF150MP MOSFET final transistors to that iconic analog-meets-early-DSP architecture, this heavyweight champion still commands ultimate respect today.
Who remembers the fierce radio wars back then? Team Kenwood (TS-950SDX) vs. Team Icom (IC-775DSP), while the Yaesu FT-1000D crew also made some serious noise! 😄
Drop a comment below if you used to spend hours tweaking your audio settings on one of these masterpieces.

Thanks for following. See you tomorrow.
