Thank you for choosing this Kenwood TS-590S 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-590S transceiver gives you enhanced interference reduction capabilities and improves the quality of audio. You will notice the differences when you fight QRM and QRN. As you learn how to use this transceiver, you will also find 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.
