The Kenwood TS-450s is reported to be better than the Kenwood TS-570x, and the Kenwood TS-850s is reported to be better than the TS-2000. As a matter of fact many of the reviews have said the TS-2000 is down right deaf when compared to a Kenwood TS-850s, TS-870s, ICOM 746 Pro, and Yaesu Mark V. I looked at the Icom radios, but I thought they were ugly. The Yaesu radios have too many reported trips back to Yaesu repair, the Ten Tec Orion II is too expensive, so that leaves Kenwood. I can buy used, but it would be nice to have a new TS-850s. I've got the cash, the desire, and the will to spend, but you currently don't offer the radio to get my dollars. Sincerely, A U.S. Ham. The new Kenwood 480-series transceivers are getting pretty nice reviews on eHam.net. Good review in QST, too. Sorta ugly, but I'm tempted, myself. bob k5qwg Who ever is designing the face of Kenwood's latest batch of ham radios must wear ugly clothes, drive an ugly car, live in an ugly house, and be married to an ugly woman, because only if you were surrounded with alot of ugly things would you think those Kenwood radios looked good. The 480HX might be ugly, but its the best HF mobile rig I have ever run. -n6ojn |
