Subject: Re: New Kenwood TS-890S Revealed at Dayton

Is it 160 through six?  I have been hoping they'd replace the 
2000.  One
thing I really like about my 990 is it has lots of buttons and 
knobs.  I
don't have to go into a menu to change microphone gain, carrier,
transmit monitor and so forth.  I also like having two receivers.  
I
also wonder how much power it runs and if ilt has internal power 
supply.
  The 990 runs 50 volts or so on finals and 200 watts out.

 No idea of accessibility, or pricing yet, but I'd expect that it 
would be

 It isn't part 15 accepted so it could be awhile before it 
becomes available.

 More specifications and info will be posted here as it becomes 
available!
