I am not sure why happy K3 owners want to keep trying to ridicule the TS990.
I am a happy K3 owner and have been for over four years. I am also a happy owner of a TS590, and TS2000. Now I am a happy owner of a TS990. Despite the critical comments regarding its size and the Rob Sherwood numbers, it is a magnificent piece of equipment with certainly more and/or more convenient facilities than the K3. In practice, there is no material difference between being able to receive signals on the TS990, TS590 and K3. I bought it because I like Kenwood as well as Elecraft and I have had great past experience with previous Kenwood rigs including the TS930. The visual appearance and ergonomics appealed to me as well as the functions and facilities and I have not been disappointed. So there you are guys - it's horses for courses. I have four rigs and will be keeping and using them all. So please give some thought before making critical and sarcastic comments about competitors' equipment that you have not used. I have not seen any similar type of comments on Kenwood reflectors regarding Elecraft equipment. I also have a KPA500 and KAT500 and previously built a K2. 73 Barry Simpson VK2BH On 4 June 2013 14:40, Phil Hystad <phys...@mac.com> wrote: > I saw a TS-990 at the SeaPac hamfest this last Saturday.
