From what I understand the 590 operates in a similar fashion to the
K3. Buy a K3 if you can afford it. If not the 590 seems to be a good
rig. The question is will it allow you to hear or work stations that
you otherwise could not? Is the filtering better to remove qrm/qrn
etc. I don't believe there are any filter options for the 590 which I
think was a mistake. My K3 run rig has 200, 400, 1000 1.8 and 2.8
filters. The 2nd receiver has a 2.8 and 400. My 2nd radio K3 has just
the 2.7 and 400hz filters.
