Kent,
I purchased a TS-590 in December of last year and have been absolutely 
delighted with the rig, its an awesome rig by itself; add the VGS1 Voice 
Guidance board and its even better.Also there are a number of happy '590 
owners on this list who will be pleased to answer whatever questions you 
might have.
See ya on 40 meters someday,
73's,
Albert WA7FXB
