I have to agree with you Nate, I love my Elecraft k3 but I also love my TS2000 and have always had a high regard for Kenwood, they have not made much in the way of rubbish over the years. I suspect there is plenty of room the market for high end Kenwood, particularly if they can do the CAT stuff as well as the TS2000,

I beg to differ. I have seen plenty of postings that indicate a fair number are wanting a "high end" Kenwood for their shack and I think plenty will plunk down a deposit next weekend even though it is still almost sight unseen. It's almost comical reading the various forums where there seems to be a thought of "anything but a K3" amongst some. I have no doubt that Kenwood will sell plenty '990s just as they have '590s. Not to be snide, but the picture made me think I was looking at an Icom! > So far nobody knows what is ethernet port is doing...web server? > sip+codec? or just firmware upgrade.

From what I've read the disply will be a mock-up with no elecronics inside. Of course, that information is a few weeks old by this point. 73, de Nate, N0NB >> -- "The optimist proclaims that we live in the best of all possible worlds. The pessimist fears this is true."
