Hi Jed,

I have both the ts590 and the ts2000 and I have to tell you that I 
absolutely love the new ts590.  The receiver blows the 2000 receiver away. 
The 590 receiver has been compared favorably to the Elkraft K3's receiver. 
And, the 590 uses the VGS1 voice board so everything talks like on the 480 
or the tmv71a.

Hey guys,
I'm thinking of getting a ts590 this week, curious to see if anyone has got
it and how well it works in terms of accessibility.  It obviously has the
voice synthesizer in typical kenwood fashion.  Curious if anyone has input
on it compared to the ts2000.

Thanks,
Jed
