What about band data output for driving bpf's, etc?  Is there a 
way to get that out of the radio, or are people using PC LPT band 
data reliably?

I've had the ICOM Pro III and prefer the TS-590S.  My favorite 
for low band
CW rig was my old FT-1000D with all the mods and the Timewave DSP 
unit, but
can't find parts anymore, so reluctantly sold it.

This TS-590S was pretty equal to the K-3 in my testing for CW and 
you can
buy two of them for what my K-3 with 2nd RX and all the bells and 
whistles
cost.  I personally did not care for the K-3 for CW, but it was a 
great SSB
rig.  See my  reviews on eHam.

FWIW

I have heard from a few contesters that the RX performance of the 
TS-590S is
excellent for the money, and very comparable to radios in a 
higher $$$
class.  We have an Icom Pro IIII.  For low band CW DX and 
contesting, does
anyone have an opinion which of these two different radios are 
better
performers?  Especially for 80/160M.  Feel free to reply to 
n0ah@arrl.net.
