THANK YOU
Thank you for choosing this KENWOOD TS-590SG
transceiver. It has been developed by a team of
engineers determined to continue the tradition of
excellence and innovation in KENWOOD transceivers.
This transceiver features a Digital Signal Processing
(DSP) unit to process IF and AF signals. By taking
maximum advantage of DSP technology, the TS-
590SG transceiver gives you enhanced interference
reduction capabilities and improves the quality of
audio. You will notice the differences when you
fi ght QRM and QRN. As you learn how to use this
transceiver, you will also fi nd that KENWOOD is
pursuing “user friendliness”. For example, each time
you change the Menu No. in Menu mode, you will see
scrolling messages on the display, telling you what
you are selecting.
Though user friendly, this transceiver is technically
sophisticated and some features may be new to you.
Consider this manual to be a personal tutorial from the
designers. Allow the manual to guide you through the
learning process now, then act as a reference in the
coming years.
