Yeasu FT-950 - a (very short) review.
It’s been 5 weeks now since I took receipt of my FT-950 so I think it’s about time I posted a short review based on my experiences with the radio over that period. This won’t be a highly technical review based on test figures and technical data, rather it will be a user review based on how well the radio fulfils my requirements and how it compares to other radios I have owned.
The FT-950 is a complex radio that needs a significant amount of configuration and setup to get it working just the way you want it, but, having done that, it is a radio that performs very well. Highlights for me are DSP IF filtering, triple band stacking registers (which retain all band and mode appropriate settings - this is a very powerful feature) and the CW peaking contour facility.
I’m very pleased with my Yaesu FT-950 as it is significantly better than any other radio I have owned. It is more than capable of fulfilling all of my requiements for SSB, CW and data communications (especially RTTY and PSK31).
