This "little" radio by it's size is a very great performer. I have always been amazed by those radios from Kenwood, TS-450S, TS-870S, TS-570DG, TS-590SG, ... There is NO need to spend $15.000 on a radio, it's better to invest into good antennas ! Thanks and 73.
Ah but when you can't invest in a good antenna, because of restrictions, a nice Icom 7851 will do more to pull out a weak signal and allow you to have contacts with just a piece of wire, than another less radio will not allow you to do. I know, I've done it. Agree with your comments on these Kenwood radios thought, they are superb.
I have a 590s and an ic7300 the kenwood is far superior in every regard except the display. I would have liked to see your noise floor with the AF all the way up. Thanks for the video.
I was first made aware of the benefits of turning AGC off and winding back the RF control to copy weak signals by Jarrad VK3BL in this video th-cam.com/video/U21X_3LaIMk/w-d-xo.html
How much did the Whole Shack Mains Filter cost to build if you don't mind me asking. Currently using a Tacima 6 Way Mains Conditioner but thinking about building one myself.

I have one and it’s one of my best radios. I’m not selling this one!

That is impressive! Could you be persuaded to do a before and after video or is it too much work to recreate the old situation?
why do you run it with the AGC off?

@@av4u ah, I think I did that on my ft-818. The 7300 is a bit tricky. Thanks for the answer.
@@av4u yes the rf control on the 590 and 7300 are completely different animals. I miss my 590SG.

I have actually costed it at around £90.00, all the parts are listed on GM3SEK's website.
If you email me, I will send you my costing.
Great video! De W2CSI
Thanks very much Charles.
Same Kenwood noise reduction is so poor
