1. Kenwood TS-590SG 2021

   Posted by Jim on 27th May 2021

   Purchased from MTC May 2021. Using everyday and finding new features everyday. So many possibilities with this radio, infinite sound settings for receive and transmit audio. Two separate Menu A/B settings. I recommend getting SO3 TCXO option. I purchased SO3 TCXO and VGS-1 Voice Guide. Very happy with this radio.

2. Soljd,, easy to use performer.

   Posted by Bill WB4TJH on 21st Sep 2020

   I bought my TS590SG from MTC about 3 month ago after doing a lot of research. I have owned doezens of HF radios over the past 50 years,including at least a dozen Kenwoods. The KWs have always proven the best of the lot and that had a lot todo with this choice. This radio is solidly built, performs very well, and is easy to use. The quality is apparent the first time you turn the knobs and push the buttons. It has an excellent, very selective receiver that works all the way below the AM broadcast band. I can work weak stations right along side strong ones and that to me is the deciding factor in choosing one receiver over another. I am totally pleased with my choice in the TS590SG.

3. Good choice

   Posted by Bill Anderson on 31st Aug 2020

   Friends wanted me to get an IC7300. but my experience with dozens of Kenwoods over the past 40+ years led me to the TS590SG. Now three months into using it I am very satisfied with its performance, features and especially the ease of use it offers. This is a fine radio, well thought out, and well worth considering. MTC got it to me in three days.

4. EXCEEDS ALL MY EXPECTATIONS - OUTSTANDING DESIGN

   Posted by Tom on 12th Jul 2017

   As an owner for the past 20 years of the TS-570D, I found the TS-590SG to fit like a glove. I finally took the plunge and moved up a week ago and I am just starting to find this XCVR's controls/settings/features. Dealer - MTC - was great to deal with.
   I hope to explore the new-to-me feature set and the easier USB interface. Found lots of resources online to help me learn and I'll be spending lots of time coming unto speed.
   And, I see that I can retire my NOMIC with all it's cabling/jumpers/etc. and use that time to catch up on the latest digital modes since my use of digital dwindled as time went by.

7. Kenwood TS-590SG

   Posted by Jeff D. on 12th Dec 2016

   Did a lot of research, including looking at several HF rigs and talking to company reps at Dayton before ultimately deciding on the TS-590SG. I can't say I'm disappointed, it's a HUGE step up from the rig I've been using, which will find a new home in my truck. This was my first order from MTC RADIO, I talked with them at Dayton as well, and was impressed with them in that busy venue. I am not disappointed, shipping was lightning fast, communications was good, and I like the idea of supporting a small business rather than a ham radio mill. This will certainly NOT be my last order from MTC.

8. i like this rig

   Posted by Russell on 5th Nov 2016

   Sold my old Icoms years ago and had problems with a "Yahoo Yoo-hoo " but had good luck with my old kenwood ts 50....that is why I went with the ts590sg...the new Icom 7300 is a hot seller right now but with poor eyesight the radio with the tv screen is not for me...I don't need another tv...

9. The Perfect radio for me

   Posted by Donald Muscarella on 13th Jun 2016

   The receive on this radio is better than any other radio I have owned. The ability to tune in wanted signals and tune out unwanted signals is so much easier than my old FT-2000. For me it is simple yet efficient. The menu is very manageable and the CW reader is a plus.
   A great value for a quality radio.
   Thanks Kenwood for a very nice radio and Thank you MTC for fast service. I look forward to our next transaction.

10. Main Trading Company Rocks

    Posted by Jim Pilgram on 3rd Jun 2016

    Aloha from the Garden Isle of Kauai,
    I inquired about a Kenwood TS-570SG and the shipping to Kauai.. I talked to Tammy and she cut me a sweetheart deal on the shipping not to mention the already great price on the rig,. I got the radio in 3 days via USPS. I love the radio but I love Main Trading Company More. I purchased an item off Ebay a few years back but never checked their website.. What a mistake on my part. The prices beat the big boys and their personal service is second to none! I've been eyeballing the TS -990S and when one of my Harleys sell, they will be my go-to dealer for sure. A BIG MAHALO to the folks at MTC.
    73 & Aloha
