I still have my kenwood 870 and it works fine although my sister is teasing
me about getting the new 590 hi.

Hi folks,

What fun it is to have a new rig, but, not for this family, not at this =
time.

One of the reasons for buying the Kenwood 2000 some years ago was that = it
has 2 and 440 and an extra receiver.  As Skywarn coordinator for = eastern
IL and western IN I use 3 receivers in any given weather event = so as well
as the 590 we would need to buy a dual band rig to replace = the 2000s high
end.  It still does a good Job on HF and the thing I like = best is that it
is paid for, grin.

I may have a new rig at some point, but, as for now, its the good old = 2000
for me.

I said for this family, My wife Suzie and 6 of our 8 kids are hams.
