KENWOOD TS-590SG 70th anniversary

JVCKENWOOD Corporation is pleased to announce that, to commemorate KENWOOD’s 70th anniversary, it is producing a limited edition of the TS-590SG – the renowned HF/50MHz transceiver noted for its exceptional RX performance and operating ease. This Special Black version of the TS-590SG, identified by a special serial number, will go on sale this September, with overseas availability limited to 230 units in the US market, and 150 units in Europe.
Based on the current TS-590SG HF/50MHz transceiver, this Special Black version features a distinctive front panel, main dial and glass screen. As a special deluxe model, it thus offers the highest levels of performance, functional versatility and quality in this product category – a reputation already established by the current model. We feel confident that this limited edition will more than satisfy the high expectations of our customers with an eye for elegant design.
A total of only 470 units of the Special Black TS-590SG will be made available worldwide, with a special serial number (unique for each market) applied to the rear panel.
An additional limited edition jacket (sizes L / XL / XXL) will be supplied with the TS-590SG 70th anniversary transceiver.
