Kenwood TS-590SG

Be witness to the evolution of KENWOOD’s pride 
and joy – the TS-590SG HF transceiver – pushing performance and technology to its utmost limit,with the receiver configured to capitalize on roofing filter performance and IF AGC controlled through advanced DSP technology. 
Enter the TS-590SG. A new generation of high performance transceiver with the type of high level response to meet DX’ers needs.

Incremental changes help performance and function to evolve

• New Split function (TS-990S-style) enabling quick configuration added in
  addition to existing Split setting
• MULTI/CH knob (with push-switch) and RIT/XIT/CL key also configurable in 
  addition to existing PF A and PF B programmable functions
• Characters shown in dedicated window on ARCP-590G
• New morse code decoder. Scroll display on 13-segment display unit
• Highly reliable TX outputs high-quality TX signal
• Advanced AGC control through digital signal processing from the IF stage
• An even higher performance receiver with superior adjacent dynamic range
• Transceiver equaliser configurable by mode
• FIL A/B configurable independently with VFO A/B 
  (convenient during Split operation)
• Front or rear PTT selectable for Data PTT
• Switching from HI CUT/LO CUT to WIDTH/SHIFT possible for reception
  bandwidth changing in SSB mode
• DRV connector switchable to antenna output function
  (convenient when connecting to external receiver).
• Large display with superior visibility.
• LED backlight colour tone configurable in 10 steps from amber to green.
• Speech processor independently configurable for microphone transmission 
  and voice message transmission.
• 20-step expansion of settings range including TX monitor and CW side tone, etc.
  Operation when pressed now added to existing toggle operation for TX tuning function.

Performance refined further in the KENWOOD tradition of operating ease and toughness – the TS-590SG

High-performance reception and improved adjacent dynamic range

Equipped with 500 Hz/2.7 kHz Roofing Filter as standard*

1st IF frequency (11.374 MHz) down conversion* is employed when receiving on 15, 20, 40, 80 or 160 meter bands. Included as standard directly after the 1st Mixer and Post Amp that compensates for conversion loss is a BW 500 Hz and 2.7 kHz 6-pole MCF, which determines adjacent receptivity,realizing superb dynamic range performance that was not possible using up conversion. Even when an interfering signal approaches the reception frequency, a virtually flat dynamic range is maintained. You can capture a clear signal even in 
reception conditions where strong adjacent interfering signals become problematic.
