   It is quite a built up area, but in fairness I would have had the RF gain turned back a bit to keep the hiss down 🙂

   Hi, there are quite a few 10m radios, but I haven’t used any since my CB days, so am completely out of touch. To listen, try 28.300 through 28.500 for lots of SSB calling.

   Definitely the 3000. The 950 is great but even with the AC0C filter mod, it doesn’t come close to the FTDX-3000.

    Difficult to see with the low light level, but it looks like the 950 has got the VFO dial upgrade kit on it ? If so, how do you find it over the standard VFO ?

    Yes it does. It feels superb. Well worth the money & once you have had one, using a stock VFO dial feels weird.
