I still have my TS-950SDX, which I also enjoy operating. Was planning a "Shoot Out" between the FT-1000D and the TS-950SDX because they were the heavyweight champs of the day, but this particular 1000D has some problems. <br /><br />I really wanted one of these, but would have settled for the 101d with 100 Watts, or a Kenwood TS-890 with 100 Watts. I was looking for the FTdx-5000, which has been discontinued, because "200 Watts". Yeah, I know it's "only" a 3dB increase, but I can testify that it DOES make a difference at times.drjimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05647484115197408897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4901205574058136834.post-38083497888955593362021-06-09T11:25:24.590-07:002021-06-09T11:25:24.590-07:00Like the Beach Boys song "409", I saved ...Like the Beach Boys song "409", <i>I saved my pennies and I saved my dimes</i>.

I would like to have something like that but nope not now. Maybe if I wait, sell my IC-821H and TS-570D, I can at least get something better than the 570D. My IC-9700 is off at ICOM for warranty repairs. I have an IC-7000 that can fill in for a while but I like a bigger radio for my operating desk.BillBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17593147581583316765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4901205574058136834.post-56255861050732297422021-06-09T07:31:33.577-07:002021-06-09T07:31:33.577-07:00Haven't a clue as to what you are writing abou...Haven't a clue as to what you are writing about but good news on the health front.Well Seasoned Foolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16670165728759453075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4901205574058136834.post-32589897407130969122021-06-09T04:13:12.092-07:002021-06-09T04:13:12.092-07:00Full disclosure, I was hoping that it was the sacr...Full disclosure, I was hoping that it was the sacred stone from the Temple of Doom.
