James, stop blaming me for saying it is noisy.
I am only one of many who claim that.
Instead, blame Kenwood because it is noisy.
It generates broadband noise when it transmits.
This known and well documented.
The cause has been explained by several including Wayne of Elecraft.
End of story.

Geeze, when you get huffy, it makes you look worried. ;-)
Your saying so, does not make it so. You offer nothing to substantiate your
claims, and just keep repeating yourself as if having a good memory is all
it take to make a good argument! When challenged, you folded our tent and
packed off.
YOU MAY disagree, but I don't consider 6 second hand stories out of maybe as
many as 15,000 units sufficient to indict the whole batch.
Just let it go at that. Just accept the fact we don't agree.
The 590 is a very popular radio, used in crowded contest, SO2R and field day
stations all over, and this is not an issue in the real world. Rob Sherwood
categorically denied testing either rig for broad band noise.
Again, your saying so does not make it so. The 590 scored cleaner than most
in ARRL tests. See: http://sm5bsz.com/dynrange/dubus313.pdf.
Besides, THE CHARGE IS ONLY VALID IF IT IS UNIQUE TO THE 590. You give
no figures for either radio.
You kept up this mantra about the 590 being noisy for so long, it adversely
affected my ownership experience, but I am sorry I listened to you, and wish
I had not sold it - just so I could say I own two of the radios used in the
WRTC !
