[Elecraft] TS-990

[Phil Hystad]

I saw a TS-990 at the SeaPac hamfest this last Saturday.  It is an absolutely huge beast of a radio.  I think the largest modern rig I have ever seen and maybe larger than any amateur transceiver ever built (maybe).  Looking at the better performing K3 in size and simplicity compared to the beast TS-990, the K3 is truly an elegant radio.
