Unless you want the TS-590 receiver performance on HF, it makes sense to use
a TS-2000 instead of a 590 with a transverter. The 2000 has that sub
receiver functionality that is really pretty slick on VHF/UHF, and the
functionality is integrated into the same unit, more economical on the
shelf, and very likely more economical overall.
