Hi Laurent,
I tried a 950SDX a few years back with the thoughts of purchasing it and had
all kinds of trouble with it. Turns out the lithium battery had leaked and
needed replacing. The radio did all kinds of weird stuff with the bad battery
but was fine after it was replaced. You may want to have a look at that.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] Kenwood TS-950SD
Hi friends
Sorry for being slightly off-topic, but as the TS-950 was (a few years
ago) a high-end TRX, i suppose some are still found in contest shacks.
The one i've got here drives me crazy. It will suddenly STOP receiving,
intermittently and without cause. Sometimes it's just after you release
the PTT (and you don't hear anything back), sometimes it does it withou
keying it. It will do it with or without antenna. The S-meter will go
from zero to the maximum, and the RF gain changes nothing.
I've searched on the web and found some similar experiences related by
other (at least 3 other hams) but no explanation / solution given..
Any help would be appreciated !
