I'm looking at buying a new rig, and one of the radios that I'm attracted to is the Kenwood TS-590SG. Does anyone in the club own one of these? JP Pritchard, KG3JPP ___ BVARC mailing list BVARC@bvarc.org http://mail.bvarc.org/mailman/listinfo/bvarc_b

JP: Had a TS-590S for years and it was a very good rig if you don't need or want a panadapter. They are a good bargain now. Gary, K5AMH On 1/14/2017 09:25, JP Pritchard via BVARC wrote: I'm looking at buying a new rig, and one of the radios that I'm attracted to is the Kenwood TS-590SG. D

JP: Meant to say the TS-590GS's are a bargain and are an upgrade from the older 590s's. G. On 1/14/2017 13:14, Gary Sitton via BVARC wrote: JP: Had a TS-590S for years and it was a very good rig if you don't need or want a panadapter. They are a good bargain now. Gary, K5AMH On 1/14/

They have an IF out so you can run an outboard panadapter quite easily, like a Softrock or SDR Play. The previous S model did not. From: Gary Sitton via BVARC To: BRAZOS VALLEY AMATEUR RADIO CLUB Cc: Gary Sitton Sent: Saturday, January 14, 2017 1:14 PM Subject: Re: [BVARC] Kenwood TS

I have one of the 590s models and love it. What sealed the deal for me was the good ratings it gets for the receive from sherwood. Also direct plug and play to the PC for digital modes and rig control with no additional interface (like a rigblaster) required. Josh KB3VQQ On Jan 14, 2017 1:22

Howdy JP, All I can say is this: I currently have an FTDX1200 and an FT991, and I'm extremely happy with both. But if I were buying a main HF rig right now, I'd buy a TS-590SG. Outstanding reviews from everyone I've ever heard who had one (the receiver in particular), super-expandable, and
