Who needs two receivers when you can buy two complete radios (TS590s) for the
price of the Elecraft
The RX muting on transmit for the second receiver is already handled for
you when you buy a K3, you'd have to get creative to implement that with
two TS590s ;)

The 590 has some short falls. No 2nd receiver, some issues on 10m.
Only one roofing filter.
I owned a couple of FT-2000's and they were easy to use. Looked pretty
cool but had some serious performance issues in the receiver. Sold them
and got a K3 and then another one.
Most reflectors and groups deal with issues and problems. I try not to
get too involved with the negatives about what I own.

His question is ...
Why have some operators sold their TS-590s to buy a K3?
Only one who has sold a TS-590 to purchase a K3 is competent to answer
and state his reason for doing that.
I am almost similarly situated as the original inquisitor... I
recently sold my 590 and now seriously consider buying a K3, but I am
still on the fence, planning to test drive the K3 as soon as possible.
Why did I sell my 590 to consider buying the K3? The 590 is a solid
performer, and I enjoyed using it, and while my rig had no issues, I
sold it because I did not enjoy the overall 590-ownership-experience,
and although it is too complicated to explain fully here, I will say I
was sick of too many other owners whining and expecting perfection
from a $1500 radio, basing many complaints on unfounded or fanciful
claims, paranoid delusions, and unreasonable expectations. I just got
sick of it, and of being asked by other hams about this and that so
called "issue" or "problem" I was not experiencing, so it was no fun
to own.
So, I bought a Orion II and now considering buying a K3, both of which
radios seem free from that sort of nonsense.
That's my reason, anyway.

Hello everyone,
I am a newbe and am selling my Kenwood TS 590s to buy a K3. I am
wondering how many of us have had a 590 and come to a K3 and why?
Thanks
