I like the filtering in the ts590 and the newer speech chip provides a bit more information for the blind user. I'm running the ts2000x currently and would probably upgrade to the ts590 for my next rig. I do like the 480 as well.

Hello folks,
A blind friend of mine recently upgraded to general and is looking for
suggestions of which H F Kenwood would be best for him. I have the 480 but
some are telling him the 590 or others would work well for him. he has the
71a for 2 meter and 440 so we don't feel a need to duplicate those freqs in
a base since his wife likely will not permit moving the 2 meter into the
car.
What are the suggestions?
