[Kenwood] Odp: Some TS590SG questions

[SQ6MS Maciek]

NB is working much better than in my previous two Kenwoods (850S and 450)  Of course it will not remove all of the noise, especially random noise. I don`t know about  IMDR degradation or IMD products - didn`t measure them but effect on receiving signal is  sometimes noticable. It hardly depends on signal to noise level and NB level setting.  Good thing is that in TS590SG you can engage IF NB, DSP NB or both at the same time.   For DRV output it is working very well. There are plenty of informations on the web covering  this. Just with the other TRX as a spare receiver you have to be carefull not to do opposite -   destroying the DRV output by transmitting on your spare/second (T)RX    Vy73`s de Maciek ... --.- -.... -- ...

How well do the Noise Blankers work on the 590?  I see that it  has both a hardware and DSP based NBs.  Are they pretty good at taking out  RFI crud and noise?  Does the noise blanker distort the receive audio when  engaged, or affect the receiver IMDR, so IMD products are generated when  the band is busy?  The noise blanker in the TS950 is good at taking out  noise, but the receiver really suffers also.   Also, has anyone used the DRV jack in the back of the radio to hookup  another radio and do dual receive? That is what I am planning to do with  it.  The manual says that there is a small amount of RF on that jack during  transmit.  I am assuming that it isn't enough to damage the other  receiver.  I tried it with a TS870 I used to have, and a TS2000 I still  have, and it seemed to work pretty well with that setup.   Anything else good or bad I should know about the TS590SG?   73 John AF5CC  ______________________________  Kenwood mailing list  Home:  mailman.qth.net mailman.qth.net  Help:  mailman.qth.net mailman.qth.net  Post: mailto:Kenwood at mailman.qth.net   This list hosted by:  www.qsl.net www.qsl.net  Please help support this email list:  www.qsl.net www.qsl.net  Message delivered to   sq6ms at o2.pl
