Thank you for an interesting comparison between the two radios. After 35 yrs on the air I have owned many radios. My favorite radio & the one I use is the TS870S. If there is any difference between the 590 & the 870 it is so small as to make no difference. Thanks once again for the useful comparison. 73, Mike.
All i noticed was the sound from the 870 was better less digital ,live owned both radios i sold the 870 big mistake.Got the 590 SG and i have sold that now but i own the ts950sdx and believe me im never selling that radio .You just cant get the radios today to sound as good as the old radios in RX and TX just my opinion i can make a statement like that because iv'e owned most of the top end radios and I'm still with my 950sdx .The ts590sg is a fine radio but like you say there is almost no difference ,what i noticed with the 590 was the NB was very very good in fact probably the best one i have ever used .Good video thanks for posting just goes to show there is not a lot of progress in Transceivers that are 20/30 years old .
What are you comparing exactly? :-D Your main result is showing that on 40m you receive just noise. Do you really think that those splatters (techcnically they weren't!) were generated in the receivers? Do you know how to identify something produced by distortion WITHIN the receiver? Come on!

Both rigs are pretty much alike.
Ts870 has a smooth rx though.
O sold my 870 e bought a 590. I am satisfied.

Hello mr Adam. I am about to buy a 870. What do you offer me to inspect. Have you got any suggestion ? 73's de TA2ATG
This proves that the Sherwood stats are unreliable. The 870 was the best rig I ever had. Add a sdr rxer and it’s king.
