Maybe Sherman really means that this radio
is being built (and priced) to fit the hard core DXer who is accustomed to
spending big bucks toward putting each new entity in the log as they climb that
DXCC Honor Roll ladder…..
My first 170+ countries have been
relatively cost acceptable using mostly wires. However, as I reach for higher
DXCC positioning I can see the need to purchase more property, changing QTH,
developing acres of land into antenna fields, multiple towers, tons of new
aluminum, obtain some REAL QRO power, etc.

That’s OK Jim.
The video says the TS-990 is for Real DXers.
Good to see that someone somewhere has factories still making stuff.
I am at CES in Vegas. It is all about apps, software, hackathons,
etc. nothing real anymore. Anyway, a very nice rig. Kim and I
saw an early prototype at the Kenwood hospitality suite in Dayton a couple of years ago.
Unfortunately, way out of my budget.
