the TS-590 does have a clearly labeled rx ant on the rear panel. My mistake. What it lacks is a complete RX Ant loop and the ability to insert RX bandpass filters or a RX antenna switch and preamp like the KD9SV unit: http://www.radio-ware.com/products/svdx.htm In addition, like every

Believe me or not. The designer of TS590 also a K3 owner. He sure made some very questionable choices if he had a K3 to copy from! The TS-590 only uses the down conversion/roofing filter system on the 160, 80, 60, 40, 20 and 15 meter amateur bands! Outside those bands and above 21 MHz it is

That's kind of a compliment! But why all the silly receiver conversion gymnastics? Or will there be a TS590S(G) with dual receivers and 100% double conversion in our future? Another forklift upgrade model enhancement path like the Alfred P. Sloan school of Product Management road map adopted

Looks like I missed a few other tricks (not treats) in the TS-590. I refer the reader to Kenwood's own brochure for the TS-590 at: http://www.kenwoodusa.com/UserFiles/File/UnitedStates/Communications/AMA/Brochures/TS-590.pdf and their ad on the rear cover of QST for November 2010. The
