I am compare FT3000DX and TS-590.In sigle radio solution this is a similar radio, but if you planned use two radio, FT-3000DX have outstand high noise level out of band.  And, of course, receive on second radio is very problematically.Band scope not shown real picture of band on FT-3000DX. TS-590 + ext SDR show more funny picture.FT-3000 a bit more knobs and tunes, may be allow receive weakness signal than TS-590, buy this feature good for DX, not for contest, IMHO.
I am came back to TS-590 Best regards,Slava US2YW

I did some searching through the previous posts and found very little
mention of the Yaesu FTDX3000 on the reflector.  I also see little mention
of it other places as a contest radio.  Now I do see the Kenwood TS590
being mentioned as the best radio for the price, a great contesting radio,
etc.

What is it with the FTDX3000 that keeps it from being a contest radio?  It
has the same downconversion receive design that the TS590 has, and roofing
filters that are similar in width to the 590. In addition, it uses the
downconversion design and narrow roofing filters on 10 meters and 6 meters,
something the Kenwood doesn't go.  It also has a realtime band scope, which
is something else lacking in the 590.
