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.

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.
