I am considering purchasing a Ts-590s very soon.  Where would you suggest
that I look to purchase re price, service etc.  I know about H R O so I'm
considering other sources.

Thanks

Richard, yes the 590 has the old time connectors which is much nicer in my
opinion.  Also the r x is quite a bit better especially if your working dx
with all the big pileups you have to contend with.  It is a great radio and
the Sherwood tests show it also.  73.
