I called our local HRO last week and the manager there told me he 
was not aware of a "new" TS590, just some firmware updates.  Not 
owning one I have no idea other than that what to ask about a new 
radio.  Maybe someone going to Pacificon out here on the west 
coast will find out some new information.  Jim WA6EKS

Subject: ts590

Hi;
Has anyone received any info as to what will be new and exciting 
in the
ts590gs compared with the current ts-590?  Also, although the 
manual is
available, I wonder if anyone has put together any sort of 
tutorial for
the 590.  Someone did one for the ts480 which was basically a set 
of mp3
files that you can download from the handihams site.  It made 
getting
started with the radio infinitely less difficult.
Also, just have to ask, any screen reader users tried the remote
handiham base units?  The skype part of the problem should be 
manageable
but no idea how or if the control software works.  I'd have to 
play with
Skype a bit first but who knows what the future holds.
