[50mhz] FTDX3000 vs TS590SG on 6 meters

[John Geiger]

Has anyone had the chance to compare these 2 radios on 6 meters?  The
FTDX3000 uses down conversion and has narrow roofing filters available on
all bands, whereas the Kenwood TS590SG only uses down conversion and narrow
roofing filters on 160, 80, 40, 20 and 15 meters.  So on 6 meters the
Kenwood is using up conversion and a wider roofing filter, with the 2.7khz
filter being used in the 2nd IF.

So, on paper the Yaesu looks better on 6 meters.  However I see many
reviews saying the Kenwood is the best radio in its price class.  So, is
the difference on 6 meters between the 2 not really an issue, or is the
Yaesu FTDX3000 noticeably better on 6 meters?
