[Kenwood] re new kenwood radio at Dayton

[WW3S]

They actually had a all new booth, looked pretty nice....it was a little 
sparse, but you could barely get near the new HF rig, and the rep that was 
there when I was there knew about all there was to know about it, 
considering it was a prototype and it was only about a week old...I don't 
recall the specs on the two roofing filters, only to know it had 
two....since my trusty old 850 is still chuggin away, I don't need 
one....yet.....
