No there are not :-)
There are some OT-threads that can exist in this list.
In the case of the TS990: it is a friendly topic, it is no exploding
mailbomb, and it gives the listowner valuable marketing info.

Let us not be too hasty to judge this beast. According to the Elecraft price
sheet, a comparable K3 setup will cost almost $6800 and that does not give you
a power supply or 200W, which is included with the Kenwood.
