I put little stock in one test at one site by one group of guys on early production units. I know there are loads of 590s in service in contest group shacks and have been used happily on many FD sites, so the question becomes one of statistical significance.

Rick reports on just TWO (early production) TS-590s at a German contest club station. I know Bob had a similar experience with one or two 590s at a US FD site. But I have NOT been presented with credible reports from any other group and this has not been discussed to ANY degree on any of the 3 TS-590 web discussion groups - and I moderate one of those lists daily.

I do not dispute these stories ... I only wonder whether 4 or 5 reported cases is statistically significant. A great number of 590s are playing well among other rigs in a great number of shack world wide without problems. My 590 was nice and quiet and played well with other rigs close by. I cannot get too excited over this until I see more (credible) data and (actual) documented cases. There appears to be far more than 12,000 units in service, and this is just not an issue among actual owners.

Every now and then we run these tests at one of our multi-multi contest
stations on all the transceivers we can find.  There we have lots of
antennas but generally pretty far apart.  If one of the radios causes noise
to all others, it gets banned from the site.  Most of the low cost Japanese
radios have been banned because they disturb the other 5 bands when they
transmit.
