Congrat's Mike, you don't have to wait to install the chip. I
installed the VGS1 chip after listening to the audio manual from
Active Elements last week. I just got a nearly new TS590 last
Monday. Am doing same as you, reading the menu list and the
manual. Have started entering frequencies in memories. It's a
terrific rig! Maybe we can share ideas, mistakes, or shortcuts!
If you want contact me off list and I can describe how to install
the chip. It's much easier than the installation on the TS480.

A week ago last Friday, I bought a TS590 from Main Trading
Company just
before I posted their price to this list.
It arrived at the UPS store last Wednesday, but since we were
headed
out of town for the weekend to surprise a friend for his 86th
birthday,
we left it there until today.
I just got it unpacked, sat on the desk, and the cable routed to
the
power supply..
Kathleen will look at the manual and install the VGS1 tomorrow
evening.
She is still in recovery mode from the drive this weekend, so we
didn't
tackle that one tonight.
I will wait until that is done to fire it up.
First new HF rig since my TS570 in 1998.
Now, thanks to I Can Work This Thing dot Com, I have a bunch of
reading to do.
Beats the heck out of Trick or Treat any day.
