Kenwood once made great HF radios. I have an old TS-930s that is quite a performer for its age. I found in side by side comparisons I was able to copy more weak signals with the 930s than with my K2. If I could copy on both, I would prefer the K2 because with dsp I was able to filter out all the noise.
My new K3 is clearly the superior radio in all respects. I have also used a TS-2000. I thought it was a very poor quality radio and I sold it shortly after I bought it. I am very happy with the K3 and have zero desire for a change. I like Kenwood radios for VHF/UHF repeater and mobile use. They understand and implement APRS better than others and they are my choice for mobile public service work. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Edward Dickinson, III Sent: Saturday, May 15, 2010 6:12 PM To: [email protected] Cc: [email protected] Subject: [Elecraft] Son of K3?? In a photo taken at Dayton and posted to Flickr (search "TS-590"), I noticed doubled-up power cords into the TS-590S. Has anyone heard a mention of 200 watts? 73, Dick - KA5KKT --------------------------------------------------------------------- I talked to a Kenwood rep at Dayton this morning <snip> Will, AI4VE ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
