Back in the late 80's I ordered a TS-950 sight-unseen from a catalog. It was to replace my trusty TS-180SAT. When it arrived I thought they'd accidently sent me TWO 950's in the same box. I had not paid any attention to the size and weight specs of the rig when I ordered it. It was so huge, there was no room for anything on the front of the operating desk once the 950 was in place. I boxed it up and sent it back. I was stronger then but knew that I would (hopefully) be growing old and would need help moving that beast.
I recently looked at the specs of the 990 and knew it would be a back-breaker too.

Could it be a repeat of the 950 series? Or, is it that the days of the Legendary Kenwood TX and RX audio is something of the past? Food for thought.
