Topband: Rig Question

[mstangelo at comcast.net]

Gary,

Contact the Kenwood Service Center and give them your email address. They will then send you an email when they are ready to upgrade your rig.

The secondary receiver in the TS-990 is essentially that of the TS-590.

I did not bother to get the K3 Panadapter. I used a QS1R as a secondary receiver with the K3. I can view the whole HF spectrum with the QS1R.

Where is the TS-590 ALC fix described Mike? I have one and will have it done if it’s available. 

I also had a TS-990…the receiver performance (both primary and secondary) were no better over a month’s trial on 160-15M than my 590. Looks real good however. Eye candy usually does.

I have a 6-month old K3 with most options. It still sits in its box after mid-winter service by Elecraft next to the new boxed P3/SVGA. The 590 is just too easy to use in comparison.
