Kenwood TS-990S

O drugem, kot o "kozmetiki" in izgledu zaenkrat ne moremo modrovati...
Leva polovica: Kar v redu ergonomija, vse lepo in na mestu - kopija Icoma
Desna polovica: Ergonomija brrr... Ne vem, zakaj me spominja na štedilnik in na lego kocke.... Verjetno zaradi prejšnje teme o kuhanju kave...

video me spominja na prvi pristanek na luni leta 1969 ( bil je prvi ter edini TV v kraju, ter smo vsi gledali in poslušali v eni sobi nekakšno podobno modulacijo iz Houston-a ,hi .

Nova brošura in navodila TS-990, zaenkrat angleška, dosegljiva tudi na http://www.kenlab.si

Prevod v slovenščino je že v nastajanju.

Info cena pri Slo predstavniku Kenwood: tudi za ta model praktično najnižja v Eu.

Prvi vtis: fantastično v vseh pogledih, radio kot ga še nisem poslušal.

Danes "pobral" RSGB Radcomov test TS-990S od
Peter Harta....
Nekam čuden format djvu, ma je ratalo....
Dober je Kenwood

Pozdrav ,

Prijetno branje in zbiranje denarja

Pozdrav ,

pa še famozna tabela Rob Sherwooda, NC0B z podatki
kako se je obnesel TS-990S

Berite opombe, nekatere številke so res dobre
nekatere pa vprašljive....

Pozdravljeni ,

poteka prava debata o "številkah" Sherwood testa, sem si vzel za
"umetniško svobodo" da citiram eden post iz Kenwood TS-990S reflektorja,
in sicer "
=====================================================
As I have posted previously, I am an early owner of the radio, that I continue to enjoy. I have been licensed since 1969 and have owned many radios since then. I purchase the big box radios. Large in size, internal power supply, with lots of knobs. Prior to the 990, my most recent purchase was the Icom 7800 that I intended to own longer than the 3 years that I did, but when Kenwood released the 990, it looked so good that I decided to take the plunge. I felt (it turns out correctly so) that the resale price of the 7800 would drop significantly with the new release.

I have the greatest respect for Rob Sherwood both as an engineer (I hope that is the correct term Rob) and as an amateur. His technical knowledge is superior to most and certainly mine, hi. My field of expertise does not lie in that arena. However, what I generally do when I obtain something I don't understand, is ask someone whose opinion I respect. I have a friend who is a long time amateur (50 years +) who is a retired engineer. He is NOT an owner of the 990 and probably never will be. He is a FLEX man through and through. I asked him to review Rob's report and he has given me permission to share his thoughts with the group. It is as follows:



"I will list my reasons using the other listed measurements in the chart, which are ALL important, or they wouldn't be listed. I usually compare each of the columns between units, and consider the expected effect if that alone was the most important, and it may well be in many receiving situations. I understand that Mr. Sherwood uses the "Dynamic Range, Close Spaced" as his most important criteria because in the very important DX situation of trying to work a weaker station, very close to a much stronger station, say 25 or 30 dB stronger, the receiver will produce intermodulation noise that may cause failure in making the contact. I agree, that is the most critical situation. However, there isn't always a much stronger station right there. If you look at Wide Spaced, 20 KHz away, a 30 or more dB station would not even be noticed in the audio or the AGC.

So, I ask you to look at the TS-990 using a more comprehensive view.

1. Noise Floor: It is a much "quieter receiver" than many above it at -138 dBm. That is outstanding at 11 dB BELOW "S" zero.
2. Receiver Blocking by strong signal 100 KHz away: It is Outstanding at 145 dB of capability.
3. Local Oscillator Noise floor: important, since that noise is injected right into the first mixer where it competes with weak signals. Outstanding at 138 dB down at 10 KHz.
4. Front End Selectivity (method of achieving): It uses a Tracking Pre-Selector. That can be outstanding if properly implemented. That's how the Collins R-390 is configured. Not to say the TS-990 is equal to the R-390 in that respect.
5. Filter, Ultimate Cutoff: mediocre at 90 dB, however, that is usually good enough.
6. And, last but certainly not the least, Dynamic Range, Wide-Spaced", as good as it gets, almost incredible, at 111 dB at 20 KHz away.

So, in my humble opinion, unless you are in that Pile-Up, working that weak, and so important station, the TS-990 is a very good receiver for all the other day to day situations."

I hope this is helpful and interesting to the group.

Thanks and enjoy. 73, de

Samo eden problem je, kako priti do cca 7.6 Keuro

Samo eden problem je, kako priti do cca 7.6 Keuro

naj ti povem, da je v S5 bistveno ceneje... lahko jo prideš tudi v živo potipat

Živ Simon, fajn da je že v uporabi v S5...
Lahko malo opišeš izkušnje z TS-990S v kakšnem od preteklih contestov...
Glede na arsenal aparatov ki si jih uporabljal v preteklosti, najbrž ne bo tako
težko.....Zaenkrat samo opazujem
Kristijan S50XX mi je predkratkim posodil TS-590S za eden teden in sem bil zadovoljen...
Ma ne toliko da bi se znebil TS-870S....

Pozdrav!
Rad bi prebral mnenje kakega lastnika (iz S5), postaje TS-990 S. Ostalo lafranje in prepisovanje nekih podatkov je brezpredmetno, vsaj zame. To je povsod dostopno.

...Rad bi prebral mnenje kakega lastnika (iz S5), postaje TS-990 S...

Za veliko večino, upam si trditi da 95% SLO radioamaterjev, so to le mokre sanje, tisti pa, ki jo imajo in jo preizkušajo, oz. so jo preizkusili, ne bodo priznali, da so pognali tolko denarja za nekaj kar ni toliko boljše od dosti cenejših "štacjonov". Skratka razmerje cena : kvaliteta (uporabnost) je zelo vprašljivo. Tako ali tako je software že zastarel in sledilo bo miljon popravkov in čez eno ali dve leti bo ta postaja tudi hardwersko za v smeti.

Cena pri KenLab in tudi test same postaje pri taisti firmi.
Zaenkrat mi TS 480 zadostuje za remote delo.
Sicer pa radio od vseh videnih v tem cenovnem rangu sigurno nr.1 po vsem kar ima in kako ima.
Detaljno pa še nisem uspel kaj več... Bo pa kar nekaj S5 lastnikov 990 modela glede na naročila za ene še ni recesije...

tolko...
