Just my opinion, I think that the TS-940 is very limited by its filter
selection for the cw op. For SSB I really liked mine and found it very
effective.
- Your filters on cw are either in or out, and there is no ability to
switch from 500 hz to 250 hz, which I do all the time in cw contesting.
- Also, I don't think that there is provision for cascading 250 hz
crystal filters.
- On my rig, which was tested to be in 100% good order, using the
bandwidth narrowning feature was not as good as having the right filter at
hand.
I ended up physically installing the 250hz filter, which meant that my cw
filter modes were either wiiiide open, or very tight. I didn't like that
and sold the rig, which I otherwise really liked.
I think that this criticism doesn't apply outside of dx/contesting, and as
a general rig it was very nice.

Subject: [CQ-Contest] TS-850 vs. TS-940
Sorry to start another "vs." thread, but I really want to know people's
opinions of the 850 vs. 940, as I seriously have been mulling over whether
to
replace my 940 with an 850. Have financial restraints here, and a used 850
can be had for what I think I could get for my 940, so what opinions does
the
contest world hold on this subject? Got my 940 equipped like I want it-
Inrad
filters, slow tuning mod, computer interface...and it works great, no
problems. Do I keep what I got, and stop worrying about it, or is the 850
a
better rig? Thanks in advance. Jim, KZ1M.
