Lowell,
The TS590 is easier to learn than the 2000 was. I can't think of a button
that doesn't give you either verbal feedback or beep feedback. You'll
really enjoy it, and all of your ts2000 accessories will work on the 590
too!

Bob, do you think that 590 is more difficult to learn than was the 2000?
I have had no problems learning the 2000 but I am a little concerned about
the 590.
What would you say about it?
Thanks.
