Merry Christmas to you Ron,
You're gonna love both the tmv-71A and the ts-590 and it will not take you 
long to learn the front panel and all other connections and capabilities of 
these fine new rigs. Feel free to ask questions and we'll be happy to find 
answers for you.
Best 73's
Albert, wa7fxb
a happy tmv-71 and ts-590 owner
