[TenTec] OT: Kenwood announces new improved "TS-590SG"

[Rick - DJ0IP / NJ0IP]

Competition for the Eagle in the entry-level high performance transceiver
class.

Several aspects of the radio are said to be improved, including the
receiver.

Unfortunately I only have details in German language.
There are several improvements but the one I was looking for has apparently
been addressed:  "Spurious Emissions"
. Old TS-590S:    -50dB
. New TS 590SG:   -60dB
It will be interesting to see how much this improves the former problem with
broadband noise generation.

For info in German:

Surely this document is also available in English.

Seems Kenwood will once again take a shot at the Eagle.
I'm anxiously awaiting Rob Sherwood's test results.
