I love my TS 590 SG, so much, I bought a 2nd one as a backup, sorry, I would rather master one then have general knowledge of many. And with the money I saved, I purchased and built some awesome antennas, nothing like a 5K radio hooked up to a G5RV, nothing wrong with a G5RV, but your better off connecting a 1400.00 radio to a 5K antenna than a 5K radio to a 100.00 antenna, just saying. BTW, I sold my FTDX 5000 and bought my current TS 590 SG's.

The k3 is a kit radio. The receivers are quite equal. Whats not equal is the kenwoods transmitter is more heavy duty , the knobs are more robust , it is over double the weight. It's less than half the price. The display is nicer. Has a drv output for external pan adapter. It a better radio for 1500.00 less. Why would anyone choose a radio that when you push a button the radio slides off the desk. Kenwood for the easy win.

Good comparision, much better than most videos. K3 is absolutely the winner, TS590 good for a spare radio if you use it only for SSB.

bravo Eugeni, bellissimo video, veramente un ottimo lavoro! il k3 è il mostro sacro del cw, il ts590sg si difende beinssimo ed ha un eccellente rapporto qualità prezzo

Both radios have their AGC set to (F), fast however the decay time is really long on the K3, a menu setting, causing the untrained ear to think the K3 is quieter. Very sneaky OM!

I had an elecraft and 590sg radio, enjoyed using them but the price of elecraft hard to swallow...Yeah it might be a tad better than the 590 but the 590 is half the price and works excellent as well ....if you have money to burn the elecraft is a great radio, most people though probably couldnt tell a difference between the two in day to day use ....I sold both but if I were to purchase again it would be the 590

I put my TS-590SG against my friends K3 and honestly not that great of of a difference in all aspects of the test. The added cost did not justify purchasing the K3 over the 590. The 590 no doubt has a "HOT" receiver and the filtering does a great job between signals.

Nice video/comparison. I'd like to see the same comparison with an FTDX-1200 and an FTDX-3000 on top of the K3. I'm looking at the FTDX-1200 and the TS-590SG. 73

Do not understand the comments bellow... K3 has better filter shape, less noise on CW... For me K3 won.

Interetsing. THANK YOU. Since the K3 costs about 4 times as much as the TS590SG I am not surprised that it is better in a few areas like decoding CW (who needs that? I don't) I WOULD like to know how the QSK relay noise etc. compares.

it's difficult to admit that a 3K€ is about the same as a 1K€ one :)

I have voted with I like this Video. Good to see and hear that I have done the right to choice TS590 SG! Let's be honest, why paying a lot more ( at lest 3 times) for a '' bit more '' sensitivity?

The strength of the Elecraft on SSB is in the EQ, combined with RF Gain control.

Performance + cost = value. It is your money, so it is your choice! For my money, the TS-590SG is the cat's meow!

Receiver performance is not how things sound. That can be tweaked. The 590 is not in the same class for BDR. And it cannot do a second receiver. Selectivity and strong signal rejection, K3 wins every time. The Kenwood is a fine rig, and high on the Sherwood list. But it's short of the K3. It just is. A video of how two receivers sound is all this is. I have both rigs. The K3 can take a full 10 DB more at 2KHZ spacing than the 590 can. If these things are not important to you, especially CW operation, then the 590 is prolly the one to get. It's a very nice rig, and more than likely easier to use.
