Excellent point. I am right handed but almost always use my left hand for fiddling the knobs and buttons on my K3 (or, any other rig with one exception). My right hand is either next to my Begali paddle or it is holding a pencil/pen. The one exception is my mobile rig which is right of the

I completely agree with you on the TS-830 and TS-850 - both excellent rigs and nothing Kenwood has done since comes close. I kind of liked the TS-480 but eventually sold it. I would think the TS-590 might be pretty good. It will be interesting though to see what the price comes out as.

The 590's display seems to be a pukey green color. Perhaps caused by it being 'green with K3 Envy'. Does anyone really believe that Kenwood is really inclined to again compete seriously in the HF market? Way to go Aptos Gang! 73 de N1LQ-Dave

I like the fact that the K3 is now the one to beat. Also, I think this isn't so much directed at current K3 owners (we know better), but at those that might consider moving to the K3 from the Yeacomwood lines. Also, as they don't sell K3s, it makes a comparison it claims is favorable without
