    New Kenwoods

    I'd love to get all the details and photos. This is apparently good news.
    Isn't the 590S a updated replacement for the TS-570?

    Wish they'd upgrade the 2000 too.

    Nice to see Kenwood still in HF

    It's nice to see Kenwood still in the HF Radio business. The new TS-590S doesn't look to far apart from the TS-2000, from the photo, physically speaking. I'd like to see a HF Field Radio from Kenwood. Something along the same line of the FT-897d.

    I have never found a Kenwood that I liked!
    I owned a Kenwood ONCE!
    Read ARRL Testing / Specs on radios before you buy.
    Now it's all Yaesu and some Alinco for this ham. To each his own.

    IMHO, I think its a world apart from the 2000. Looks more like a K3.
    I also would like to see more of a high end new kenwood product.

    The same goes for the FT-857D. Same family as the FT-897D and the FT-817, with plenty of features in a small package.

    Elecraft K3?

    It sure looks like a repackaged, and labeled Elecraft K3 to me.......

    TS-590S

    Well it may REPLACE the TS-2000 as the #1 UGLY ham radio with that LIME GREEN display! No bandscope as well so it's NOT keeping up with ICOM or Yaesu rigs for BELLS & WHISTLES either.

    The Kenwood TH-D72....... J.A.F.D.B.R!!!!!!!!
    (Translation= Just Another Freaking Dual Band Radio!)

    ...Like we need "another" 2m/70cm dual band radio on the market! Gimme a break! When will the manufacturers come out with some other good VHF/UHF banded "capable" radios. We need more variety with some of the other bands out there (ie. 6m, 220, 1.2Ghz, 900Mhz, etc....)

    How about making some mobiles that have other band choices out there. A 2m/70cm mobile is a dime-a-dozen. It's akin to just always having a choice of chocolate or vanilla ice cream ALL THE TIME.... The manufactures only let us have a choice of toppings on those two flavored radios. We need new flavors (band combos)!!!! ;)

    Know what I mean?
