I answered directly to those who kindly offered to be of help in building/providing such transformer. It is really reassuring to see that the ham spirit is still alive, now with the powerful support given by the Internet. I contacted directly also the technical office of Kenwood Japan, but their answer has been what was to be expected by such a giant organization. I report it here following : --------- ------------ Dear Sir, Thank you for your e-mail. Regarding your inquiry, as you indicated, receiving sensitivity of TS-950SDX in the low frequency band is inferior to the one of TS-850. Regrettably, however, this receiving sensitivity cannot be modified or improved by the change of parts, etc. We are obliged to ask you to use the model as they are. We are sorry that we cannot meet your requirement. Sincerely, (Tokyo, Japan) -------------------------- Customer Service Section Kenwood Corporation css@kenwood.co.jp ------------------- ----------------------- Well, despite what they say, I am still deliberate in willing to do such modification. I will report the outcomes on the reflectors, for those interested. Thanks again to all 73 Alberto I2PHD
