			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-2256" style="margin-right: 15px;" title="TS-590_Display" src="http://www.radiocronache.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/TS-590_Display.jpg" alt="" width="470" height="228" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The Kenwood &#8220;TS-590&#8243; utilizes Kenwood&#8217;s proven 32 bit IF DP technology &#8211; Features selectable Roofing filters at 2.8 kHz, and 500 Hz on  1st IF &#8211; including down-conversion wtih the 1st IF at 11 MHz (<strong>like</strong> TenTec, Elecraft and Vertex Standard Yesu in the FTdx-5000 series), USB port, HF and 6M Antenna Jacks, Dual VFO Display, Automatic Tuner, etc. -</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Kenwood has not yet announced final features, specifications, pricing or availability. The model number is tentative! &#8211; The June QST on the back cover is TS-590S seems to be a picture of. This back cover advertisement Kenwood is, first. &#8211; The Legend Continues and there TS-520, TS-570, TS-590S and is introduced from above. TS-590S on the front panel seems to be why do the characters TS-590 missing. &#8211; The Next Generation &#8211; Coming Soon and there.</p>
<p><strong>Latest rumors</strong>: Size (WxHxD mm) 270x96x291 &#8211; TX Power 100W &#8211; High Dynaming range &#8211; IP3 +30dBm class at 2KHz separation &#8211; 32bit floating-point DSP &#8211; Sky Command &#8211; USB port for PC control and Sound inteface&#8230;.?? &#8212; Wait for the official news updates Kenwood!!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.radiocronache.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/QST_June-10.jpg" target="_blank"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-2258" style="margin-right: 10px;" title="QST_June-10" src="http://www.radiocronache.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/QST_June-10.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="160" /></a><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1532" style="margin-right: 10px;" title="italiano" src="http://www.radiocronache.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/f_it1.gif" alt="" width="20" height="20" />Il nuovo &#8220;TS-590&#8243; utilizza la tecnologia a 32 bit IF DSP della Kenwood, ha la possibilità di selezionare due Roofing filters da 2.8 kHz e 500 Hz BW nella 1st IF, comprende la conversione in basso nella prima IF a 11 MHz (come già fatto dalla Ten-Tec, dalla Elecraft ed da ultimo da Yaesu con la recente serie FTdx-5000), prevede una porta USB, due connettorri per HF e 6m, due VFO sul Display,  l&#8217;Accordatore automatico e altre features. La Kenwood non ha ancora rilasciato tutte le specifiche effettive, nè il prezzo. Il numero del modello per ora è un ipotesi &#8220;590&#8243;!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">La rivista della ARRL QST di Giugno, 2010, sul retro della copertina, riporta la prima pubblicità per il TS-590, indicato come discendente del noto TS-520 del 1973, poi del TS-570D/S del 2000 e quindi la foto che dovrebbe essere del TS-590 perchè non riporta nel frontale tale sigla (in corso di conferma!). Questo annuncio di Kenwood USA sulla IV di copertina di QST mette in primo luogo: &#8220;La Leggenda Continua&#8221;, poi in grande: &#8220;The Next Generation &#8211; Coming Soon&#8221; &#8211; Aspettiamo !</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>IMD3 at MDS</strong>: The &#8220;classical&#8221; method is to inject two test signals of equal amplitude at a level which raises the idle-channel noise in the baseband by 3 dB (IMD3 product at MDS). Peter Hart G3SJX of the RSGB uses IMD product at 10 dB (S+N)/N ratio as the level reference. The ARRL uses 3 methods: IMD level references at MDS and S5 (-97 dBm) and test signal level at 0 dBm. The objective of the 2-signal DR3 test is to measure the amplitude of the third-order IMD products arising from two closely-spaced signals outside the receiver&#8217;s IF passband. A problem arises in separating these signals from the reciprocal mixing noise which is generated when either or both of the test signals mixes with the LO phase noise.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>APF/TPF a new twist</strong>: The TPF (twin-peak filter) for RTTY/CW, an RTTY FIL menu selection on the PROIII, has been promoted to the front panel APF/TPF button on the IC-7600. More on that feature in a bit. Pressing the APF/TPF button in CW imposes one of three mini audio-peaking filters &#8211; 80, 160 or 320 Hz or NAR, MID and WIDE &#8211; a top whatever DSP IF filter settings are in play. To hear much of a difference, the IF filter must be set to a passband that’s significantly greater than the APF setting. For example, you might use the 80 Hz setting when you’ve got the IF filter set to, say, 150 Hz. When you press the button, the current setting appears briefly on screen, although you can disable this. You can choose either a &#8220;soft&#8221; or &#8220;sharp&#8221; APF shape via a menu. The ’7600 lets you use the TPF in tandem with any of the three IF filter bandwidths (plus soft or sharp contour) you’ve set up in advance, and you can takefull advantage of the dual-passband IF shift. &#8211; More settings &#8230;.more steps!</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1532" style="margin-right: 10px;" title="italiano" src="http://www.radiocronache.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/f_it1.gif" alt="italiano" width="20" height="20" />Sulla rivista della ARRL, QST di Novembre 2009 è riportata una interessante Recenzione del Transceiver IC-7600 HF 50MHz 100W di recente prodotto dalla Icom Inc. Si può inoltre visionare la bella pagina web di Hans, PA1HR con una più ampia raccolta dei numeri tratti da QST &#8220;Key Measurements Summary&#8221; ee che riguardano i più noti apparati per Radioamatori della serie: Icom Yesu Elecraft Flex Microtelecom (Perseus) e Tecn-Tec. (vedi Link qui sopra)</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">L&#8217;IC-7600 è stato recensito, con una ampia e dettagliata descrizione  funzionale ed operativa che interessa le funzionalità del nuovo Transceivrer Icom, da parte di Rick Lindquist, WW3DE (NCJ) National Contest Journal Managing Editor.<br />
Invece, nella Tabelllina inserita qui sopra, con l&#8217;immagine del 7600, sono riportati sommariamente, per un semplice e rapido confronto,  una parte delle misure descritte su QST &#8220;Key Measurements Summary&#8221; rilevate nelle rispettive recensioni pubblicate dalla ARRL per: IC-7600 IC-7700 IC-7800 ed FT-2000D.<br />
Per conoscere, invece, le ampie analisi operative e le molteplici descrizioni funzionali si rimanda alla interessante lettura dell&#8217;intero articolo pubblicato su QST di Novembre 2009.  (I Soci della ARRL  possono scaricare il PDF di QST 11 2009 dal Link  qui sopra)</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>APF/TPF a new twist &#8211; </strong>Il TPF (Doppio-Filtro di Picco) per RTTY/CW, che nel PRO3 cambiava la sola banda passante dal menu RTTY FIL, ora sull&#8217;IC-7600 ha la selezione dal pannello anteriore con i tasti APF/TPF e FILTER.  Ecco una sintetica informazione su questa caratteristica: Premendo  il tasto APF/TPF im CW si imposta sopra uno dei tre mini-filtri audio di picco: 80, 160 o 320 Hz cioè NAR, MID e WIDE a prescindere dall&#8217;impostazione di quale filtro DSP sia in gioco. Per consentire di ascoltare  in modo migliore, il filtro IF deve essere impostato su una banda passante che sia discretamente maggiore rispetto all&#8217;impostazione del valore del APF. Per esempio, si può utilizzare l&#8217;impostazione APF di 80 Hz, quando il filtro IF (DSP) sia impostato per esempio su 150 Hz. Quando si preme il pulsante, l&#8217;impostazione corrente appare brevemente sullo schermo (Display). È possibile, inoltre,  scegliere la forma del filtro APF trà &#8220;soft&#8221; o &#8220;sharp&#8221; attraverso un menu. Quindi l&#8217;operatività che era quasi fissa sul PRO3, viene qui resa selezionabile con più combinazioni ed è possibile usare il TPF in tandem a ciascuna banda passante dei tre filtri IF (più la selezione soft o sharp contour) al fine di  ottenere il miglio risultato di ascolto anche con l&#8217;aiuto del Dual-Passaband IF shift. Più settaggi&#8230;. più step!</p>
