Yep I agree with all of your comments on the 480. Also, I think the
controls make a little more sense on the 590 as far as wi writing to
memory, memory to vfo and so forth. The 590 has separate rf and af tain
controls, I always that was strange the way you ahve to set rf tain on the
480. Dsp is much better in the 590, it is just a quieter receiver.
Again, nothing wrong with a 480, the 590 is just newer and can take
advantage of advances in the technology.
