[RTTY] New Radio

Always worth looking at Bob Sherwood's table for RX performance http://www.sherweng.com/table.html 

Before making one's mind up what to buy.

I've been looking closely at the IC-7300 myself. It comes highly recommended by a couple of people I trust. The only thing I don't like about it is that it doesn't have a separate receive antenna port when I need for 160M.
I see the TS-590SG does not have a band scope but the '7300 does. I think that's a very valuable feature to have in a radio. If the '590 has an external IF output (like the TS-870) then you can create a band scope on your PC using an inexpensive SDR. But so far I can't find where it does.

The Kenwood TS590SG and ICOM IC-7300 radios are frequently listed as the best you can get without spending Elecraft money, and if I had the money to burn I'd probably have one of them.
