[Kenwood] TS7000 approved and are order taking

[John Geiger]

In one Kenwood ad, Kenwood claims that the TS570 is the best selling rig on
the market today.  Does anyone have actual figures to back that up, or care
to agree or disagree with it?  I would have to unfortunately say that the
Icom 706MKIIG is probably the best selling rig in the market today, but that
view might be blinded some by the fanaticism of its owners.  Talk about an
undeserved cult following.
