After I moved, I wanted to up my power from 15 Watts to 100 Watts. I had a choice: either buy a KXPA100 amp to boost my Elecraft KX3, or buy a new HF radio. Many blind hams like the Kenwood TS-590SG. I found a good deal online and mentioned it on the Drive Time Net on the Phil-mont machine. A few days later, I got a phone call from Bill, W3AOK. His new wife Peggy, KB3DID, offered me an amazing deal on one. Her late husband Juergen, K3ZMJ, bought one, but didn’t get a chance to use it much. I remembered a conversation we had about how blind people can’t just go to an event, sit down, and start operating. He understood. Now I own his radio.

I absolutely love it! It takes me back to using a Kenwood TS-440E as a kid. It performs well, and the voice guidance reads everything.
