Well, there is P3 - the largest display, someone could image. And the
software could bring out there all needed information, alongwith "analog
S-meter". Band buttons, mode buttons - there is also an easy solution.
Imagine a thiny box 1/2" x 1/2" x 10.7", the same style and paint as K3 -

Elecraft up dates it's stuff and as you can see everyone on web is

Oh, it is mostly over my head, but thank you for the explaintion. My
frist transceiver was a Kenwood. They were at one time one of the
best. Maybe Elecraft has started a new apporach to transceivers.

The height of the signal on the spectral display of the P3 is about the
truest and fastest responding "analog S-meter" display that one can obtain.

No criticism of Elecraft nor the K3 was intended, besides I do not have any
good hard data as to the receive signal handling capability of the K3's DSP
sub-system.
What triggered my comment was that the TS-590 is said to use only two
roofing filters and it is claimed by the manufacturer that "i
For me and all others (I maybe the only one). Does this imply the
enginreers at Elcraft need to do some brushing up on designing of DSPs.

Hi Gary:
Here is my take on Dayton 2010..
The Elecraft booth was by far the most popular place to be. Saw the new
P3 and the new KPA500. Both were impressive. No pictures from me. I had
enough to tote around..
The new Kenwood radio was good to see but not a lot of interest by my
observatio
VGA? Not HDMI? How ever will I get this low res signal to look crisp on my
60" 1080p display? And what about 3-D?

a lot more young people ,
SUNSHINE,,,
I passed by / thru Kenwood three times along the wall of the new radio...
I did hear the word "K3" each time... not one time did I hear "kenwood",.
If the new Kenwood has a tuner I wonder if it has the capabilit
nalog "take-off" receiver for
CW.
But the guys have based their product line around K3 and I feel strongly that
anyone that buys a K3 today will have the current Elecraft transceiver for
years to come.

well, OK. If you've been convinced you need to spend 10 grand on a rig that's
outperformed by a better one costing a 1/5th the price, then there's not
much more I can say. You get what you deserve comes immediately to mind,
but hey, go ahead - knock yourself out.
I never fell for it, but that's
I wish that I was in a position to do these things---I'm not---but why get
upset with those who are?
I'm sure there were those who when watching coverage of the Kentucky Derby were
shocked and/or thought a guy nuts when he walked up with a briefcase full of
money ($100K) and bet it on a horse.
you think
about another guy on the same website buying and old Hallicrafter SR-400 for
the crazy amount of $7700 ? ah? no brain at all,go figure.

If the TS-590 uses only two roofing filters and has "the best receiver specs

the roofers exhibit better than average in-passband and skirt IIP3 followed
by a decent "strong" IF, plus a LO whose phase noise is suitably low
Don't forget tho that the K3 has the option for you to build it yourself.
Then you know how it goes together and you save $250 over the fully built
version in the process.
Then there's the fact that the Kenwood is a catchup radio that's not even

Actually, the K3/100 is $2150. Plus $100 for the
500 Hz filter. Plus $330 for the antenna tuner.
The K3/100 ends up being almost $800 more.
Think we should wait and see what kind of performance
the TS-590S actually delivers.

My TS-870 has the same configuration. Paralleled wires and a Molex plug that
doesn't fall out when you move the radio.

Doubled-up power cords were (are) standard with most Kenwood HF rigs.
My 10 year old TS-570S (100 watts out) came with a "4-wire" power cable,
as did the much older TS-950S that preceded it.

I talked to a Kenwood rep at Dayton this morning
log S-meter, that
one might have me considering risking Kenwood Service... Nehhh, they are the
pits. If I might suggest if there was a "rig killer" out there it would be
named Kenwood Service. ;-)

I talked to a Kenwood rep at Dayton this morning. He said the TS-590 would have
the best receiver specs out there. I asked if it would beat the K3 and he said
the TS-590 would have the best receiver specs out there. The radio has an IF of
11MHz and two stock roofing filters - 2.8KHz and 500Hz -
What? Are you dreaming? That Kenwood radio will never be the son of our K3's.
