[Kenwood] TS-990S

[Joe]

OK,
Am I the only one here?  I read the review in QST about this new rig.

And I am really confused.

Here we have a brand new, as they say "State Of The Art" new Rig with a 
kazillion bells and whistles. And a price tag to match it $8000.00 
Bucks!!!!  YIKES!

Yest as a major fan of the upper bands, why does this new rig turn 
deaf,, well OK More deaf on 10 & 6 meters? Look at the sensitivity.

Man my $300 buck TS-430S Blows this $8000 dollar rig away on 10 meters!

So whats the story here, why the sucky performance on a 8 Grand rig on 
10 & 6 meters?
