  • It has a Ten-Tec come Elecraft look to it...

  • @craig3008 thanks for the info yes you are correct but at the time it apeared that way and kenwood rep did tell me it had dual vfo thanks for the update!

  • @kc9cuk No it doesn't. In this video it looks like it does...but the radio is in "split" mode. It only has ONE receiver. I have one of these radios - it's FANTASTIC ...but only has one receiver. Craig VK3VCM

  • @fraggit Actually, BOTH looks (aesthetics) and inside quality count. Unless you have low standards to begin with.

  • @petchharrison hmm not so! I thought so so but check on Eham...check the comparisons to the K3...this little radio is creating quite a buzz. The initial reports from people all over the world seems to be that it performs very well...and punches well beyond it's price point. There is a guy on E-ham that has done a very technical review of this radio and others including the K3..and the TS-590 comes out very well overall. I'm certainly going to consider one of these soon. Regards, Craig VK3VCM

  • Looks good on paper and looks functional on bench... I don't think I will be trading in my FT-2000 for it though. Maybe if I had gone FT-950 it would be something to consider. 73 DE Mike M0SAZ

  • What is it with these people who say "it looks bland" or "it looks old" shut up will you, you shallow people, it's got nothing to do with looks, it's what's inside that counts. Anyway, moaning out of the way lol, if the other Kenwoods I've owned are anything to go by, then this should be a sweet rig, time and reviews will tell. Thanks to KC9CUK for posting the video.

  • It looks about as old, underwhelming and underperforming as the salesperson. Seriously, and I had many fine Kenwood rigs, but... this is probably the last thing Kenwood will be making...
