[RTTY] rig recomendations

[Jack West XP]

Lee,

I bought a Kenwood TS-940Sat brand new, with all the goodies and filters in 1988.
That radio has earned 32 1st place certs in CW and RTTY contesting.  I think that
is pretty amazing service to say the least.

Presently, it is starting to give me problems with intermittent transmit.  Suddenly the
output power will drop to a few watts. all unexpectedly.  I must power the radio 
quickly off, then back on, and it will continue to operate norrmally any where from
a half and hour to all night.  Occassionally the CW pitch will change on its own.

My point is this.  My TS-940 is getting tired.  The TS-930 is one generation older.
I would look for a newer radio if you can afford it.  My two cents.
