HELLO BOB...

Hello friend bob, I agree with you, I bought a ts 850s to 3 months, this is the first contest that I operate, I am in a residential location very noise, already passed by here ic 746, ft 920 ft and 897D, currently the NB the system ts 850 solve my poblems, was the one who allowed me to go away with the noise. I do not know if it was my luck, I will make an assessment of longer, I agree with you. Very good .. I did not use filters, only a 5 element yagi for 10 meters band, who had the courage to use on 15 meters. was too much for me, 8 hours of operation 500 contacts ... I called everyone who responded, not directivity some 15 meters, only 10 meters because it was designed to 28mhz ... I found the radio incredible ... due to the low price. I know you have much better equipment, more ts 850s I attended ...

5 elem Yagi, 28mhz / 22 - meters
Ts 850s
2 Computers
I did not use CAT system.
90% of contacts on 15 meters
10% of contacts on 10 meters
500 CONTACTS - BAD CONDITIONS....
unfortunately due to work could not operate longer

Congratts Bob.  Now all you need to do is fully populate it with INRAD filters, and INRAD has a roofing filter mod, as well.  It is a good rig.

Hi all

I must say I had my doubts about my new to me TS-850SAT when I first got it
in the shack. I said: "Too small, no filters, no dual watch, no scope, no
roofing filter, etc", I said to myself: "I don't know how they ever called
this a "contest radio".

Well, I just finished CQWW WPX Contest single operator all bands. 
(I had to know abt the rig)
Total: 1059 Prefixes = 514 Total Score = 1,318,410

My first EVER - over 1 million points out of all the rigs I have owned-
using this rig and it performed flawlessly and was effortless and was
untiring to use. 

I would recommend this radio to anyone for any Ham Contesting Adventure.

I thought about selling this one BUT NOW:
I am going to get two and gang them together.
