The new TS990 from Kenwood |
Readers here will know I'm not a great fan of expensive transceivers: I cannot see the point of spending huge amounts of money on what is, after all, meant to be just a hobby. On top of the expensive transceiver some people go out and spend a fortune on towers, linears, big beams and other expensive accessories. Each to their own: although not my choice it is not for me to say how others spend their hard earned wages.
I see today that the modern cashbook amateur has a new toy to covet: the TS990 from Kenwood. With a price tag likely to be around £9000 it has to be SOME radio. Looking at the spec it does look very impressive. See
