That would work for me as I could use the TS-950SD for RX at least for CW for starters.
I couldnt see spending $660 for a full transverter, that is only 90 less than I paid for the 950 with a load of filters.
Unless one shows for ~ $200 I'll build it and with a full 1/4 wave T loaded antenna I dont need 50W.
