I was very surprised at the fact that the TS-990 didn't place higher in
the Sherwood ratings. I would have thought that it would have been on
par with the FTDX-5000.
However, for those who abhor menus, the 990 may be the answer to your
prayers. With that many front-panel controls, I'd be surprised if there
are any menus involved.
Although the service centers for Yaesu and Kenwood are convenient to my
location, as is Elecraft, I think I'll stay with Elecraft because of
their excellent product support.

While this thread is getting a little long in the tooth, Al brings up some very
interesting points. Yes, Kenwood, Icom, and Yaesu do make fine transceivers,
but it does seem the Elecraft rigs perform as well and better in many cases
with simpler schematics. Me, far from being an electronics guru, would like to
have someone offer up an explanation as to if Elecraft rigs are indeed simpler
generally and if so why they perform as well or better in many cases. Hurry
though, I think this thread is due to be shut down soon!
