Yaesu FT-950 HF In Action

I can't speak more highly of the Yaesu FT-950 than to say IT'S GRrrrrrrreat, as Tony the Tiger use to say-- Does anyone remember him? I've had the 950 for about a year and I like it more everytime I fire it up for a QSO. Always get great reception and audio reports with the Yaesu MD100 desk mic.

Great video and wonderful information.

I've been eyeing the FT-950 for some time now. I currently have a couple Kenwoods. A TS-450SAT and a TS-950SAT. The new TS-590S looks wonderful, but is $350 more expensive then the FT-950.

How is the Auto Tuner on FT-950?

73's!

@gmjones2001. Greetings. Thanks for watching my videos. Given the two choices, I would lend toward the 950. It feels and works like a real radio :-). Although, the TS-450 is a cool radio too. I like 'em both. But I would give an edge to the FT-950. Best regards. AI4QT

@kabukisuey Yes, Ken. I still have the FT 950. It's a great radio and you will not be disappointed. It's my main radio in the shack.  Thanks for viewing. Best of 73.

Since you have had a 746pro in the past, how would you fair the RX performance between the that radio and the 950, are they similar in sensitivity / selectivity? How about the IF DSP filters , is the 950 a better performer in that respect or do they also fare the similar?

@ilovenbcnews The 746 Pro made have had a slight edge on receive and transmit, but due to the three failures of the radio in less than a year (although Icom did repair it), I could not now recommend the 746 Pro (of course, now Icom has stopped its production). Overall, the Yaesu 950 IS THE BETTER RADIO, no doubt. 73 AI4QT
