[50mhz] Kenwood TS590 opinions

[Mike Fatchett W0MU]

I believe the next QST will review the 590.  The receiver has tested out 
among the best.  Check out Rob Sherwood's site.  Kenwood is also rumored 
to be releasing a new high end rig at Dayton so maybe folks are dumping 
the 590s now.

If I didn't have a pair of K3's I would probably have the 590.  The K3 
has many more options but the price of the 590 is much less.

I don't know how one could quantify sales with so many dealers around.
