This weekend I used my TS590 for the CQWWRTTY.
Not for the win, but for some fun and helping other members of CG1884.
But;
Next time I will be using my FT1000MP again.
I do not like the way the radio response to the “EXTREEM” loud signals from
east European stations. The screen went completely black or had some kind
of flickering.
I cot the impression the receiver DSP was overloaded.
Still like the non DSP radio’s the best in SSB and RTTY.
