hi all i have a query regarding the ft-950 by yaesu, i wonder if anyone can help so here goes ....

As you all prop know the ft-950 will only tx 100 - 3000 khz wide, Now the Ft-2000 has a menu setting that allows you to extend your tx bandwidth to 4khx wide.

Now after a chat with a yaesu engineer ( who was very reluctant to give anythin away) i was left believeing that the FT-2000 tx bandwidth is firmware controled and the FT-950 works on the same principles, so my request is this,

Will anybody at voodooo be vooodoooin this radio at all ? or are you in the process of that ?

Any mods to assist the tx bandwidth or is this something yeasu will have to realease as a firmware update ?

Or would the firmware from a FT-2000 take on a Ft-950 ? ( i know prob not but u may as well ask the question lol

many thanks in advance for any help or advice, also any tips for voodoooin this radio would aslo be good

thanks 2e0pup

be good and take care, in the words of the icon bill OVER OVER !!!!!!

Howdy 2e0pup and welcome to the Forum.
We are very glad for you to be here.

Unfortunately, the Voodoo-LABS has not looked into any modifications for the Yeasu or for any other radios other then the Kenwood TS-950SDX. We do not plan on doing this in the future either. The reason for this is to keep our attention & concentration on improving the TS-950SDX and making it the best that it can possibly be.

Does any one else out there have any information on the FT-950 rig?

Take Care,
