[CQ-Contest] TS-850SAT -- interesting rig for contesting

[Bill Parry]

The TS850 was the rig of choice at 6D2X during the time we had the station
up and running and it worked real well.  As Gerry said, the Inrad filters
make a big difference so you should see if you can find some of those
floating around.

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.
