His question is ... Why have some operators sold their TS-590s to buy a K3?
Only one who has sold a TS-590 to purchase a K3 is competent to answer and state his reason for doing that.
I am almost similarly situated as the original inquisitor... I recently sold my 590 and now seriously consider buying a K3, but I am still on the fence, planning to test drive the K3 as soon as possible.
Why did I sell my 590 to consider buying the K3? The 590 is a solid performer, and I enjoyed using it, and while my rig had no issues, I sold it because I did not enjoy the overall 590-ownership-experience, and although it is too complicated to explain fully here, I will say I was sick of too many other owners whining and expecting perfection from a $1500 radio, basing many complaints on unfounded or fanciful claims, paranoid delusions, and unreasonable expectations. I just got sick of it, and of being asked by other hams about this and that so called "issue" or "problem" I was not experiencing, so it was no fun to own.
So, I bought a Orion II and now considering buying a K3, both of which radios seem free from that sort of nonsense.
That's my reason, anyway. --------------- K8JHR ---------------------- On 5/1/2014 9:32 PM, Richard W Hemingway wrote:
Hello everyone, I am a newbe and am selling my Kenwood TS 590s to buy a K3. I am wondering how many of us have had a 590 and come to a K3 and why?
