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

[Rick - DJ0IP / NJ0IP]

That's not the same, Barry.
The German document is longer, showing much more detail of specifications.

I compared its new spurious emissions suppression to that shown of the older
version (in the manual) and saw they had attempted to address the broadband
noise problem.
This level of detail is not shown in the press release.

I've tried to find that same document in English but could not find it.
