Interesting advertising by ML&S.... Would have thought that even ML&S would have recognised by now that when you want to promote a product you get more buyer response when the advertising is of a positive nature.
If they feel that to sell their "new" product they have to use a negative advert, then I think they may find it doesn't work as well as they might hope.. I wonder if they truly think that K3 owners are going to sell their K3's to buy a Kenwood? Kenwood still have to produce their radio and independant testing will show if indeed they got it right. The TS-480SAT is not what I would call a great radio and yes I sold mine, the K3 is a great radio that is still evolving and being improved. I don't expect Kenwood will update their firmware too much after they are enter production.The TS-570 was also not what I would call a great radio, better than the IC-718 I found, but not in the class of any Elite radio. They will need to greatly improve their DSP user adjustments and do it far better than the TS-480 rigs which I found terrible to use. I decided to try the TS-480 I had for a week and not turn on the K3 as I was hopeful the TS-480 would make a good backup and mobile rig..I became disheartened after a few days and put it on e-bay. No regrets here. 73's Gary On Sat, Jul 3, 2010 at 7:51 AM, ussv dharma <ussvdha...@yahoo.com> wrote: > Kenwood does not see the trees for the forest....the usual Kenwood "non > customer friendly support" will probably prevail. > > One of the best things the K3 has going for it is "CUSTOMER SUPPORT: > > END OF STORY > > SUSAN > If you don't change direction you WILL arrive exactly where you're > headed!!
