Hello Gord,
Yes indeed, there was a EPROM update for the early Kenwood
TS-950SXD radios. I don't know the serial number cut off, but you
can determine if you need the update simply by going to SSB and
running CT simultaneously. The problem radios would introduce a
repetitive "thumping" sound in the transmitted audio. You could
even hear it in the monitor position with headphones. I believe
there was a microprocessor timing issue that was resolved with the
updated firmware. K1EA and Kenwood quickly determined the problem
and Kenwood furnished the fix.
