I got the 100 watt version because I live in an apartment and
want to keep a low profile here. I like the internal tuner. Jim

I agree with Butch. The extra 100 watts might increase your
local
RFI and not make a whole lot of difference in your signal
strength. And Universal Radio are good guys.

Personally, I'd go for the 100 watt with the tuner. If not,
you'll need
a larger supply and probably an external tuner. I felt the same
way you
did when I bought my 590. I asked hro in Debnver and they
wouldn't
install the voice board. I called universal radio and got radio
for the
same price and they installed the board free.

Hi all,
Well folks, yes, I have been bitten, severely, by the hf bug.
Now that my ham friends in my building, are back on hf with the
Kenwood =
570, I am going to buy an hf rig!
I've called ham radio outlet, and they have the kenwood ts480HX,
that is =
the 200 watt rig!
I'm wondering about the vgs1 speech board, did I get that name
right? =
Anyway, I don't know how to put the speech board in, so, I
wonder if ham =
radio outlet would put it in for me?
Or, is it something a blind ham can do?
I bet it is, but folks, I don't want to ruin a new radio!
So, I'm all ears!
73,
Trippy, ac8s, who can't wait to get his own hf station on the
air!
