Hi Guys,
 Well, I always wanted one of those rigs but I had an older brother or maybe 
I should say an uncle to the TR 7950.  It was the TR 7600.  I think it was 
the last 10 watt rig that Kenwood ever built.

 Once I got caught.  I had jammed the mic between the radio and a tape 
recorder at full power output.  I was laying on the bed talking to my wife. 
The phone rang and when I answered it, the County's EC called me a turkey. 
I got a certificate from The Turkey Group international for testing the 
final
 amplifier stage of an amateur radio while talking in the background.  I
 received the certificate at a Christmas party and was laughing so hard that 
people wasn't sure if I were laughing or crying.  It was great fun.  I used 
the radio on packet in the late 90's.
