Ok here is the results of my side by side comparisons with my icom 746 pro. The kenwood TS- 590 on 10 meters showed 92 watts on my peak reading meter and the Icom showed 80 watts. On air however the results are reversed The Icom continually gets signal reports 1 s point or more higher. No matter what I did with the mic setting the Kenwoods reports where lower. Checking with the meter on average does indeed show a much lower average power output on the Kenwood 590.Not that it is fault as such but a bit of a disappointment if you have just shelled out the cash. Ok not very scientific but it is what happened, read what ever you like into it!.
Anyway back on track. anyone got some reports on the new 590sg
