No one mentioned the Kenwood TS590SG. I own one that I use as a 2nd radio. I
think it's a pretty good radio. When I do SO2R with bandpass filters there
doesn't seem to be any interference between it and my K3. I remember when I
owned an IC756PRO2 it got into the K3 pretty good even with bandpass filters.We
also use it when we go mobile as W4AN in the QSO parties.JeffSent from my
