"You get what you pay for. Yaesu has been making very dirty radios --"

I'm not sure I see the connection between part 1 and part 2. I paid for a Kenwood TS-590S. Actually I have two of them. I don't think this radio ever sold for more than about $1,600 and to the best of my recollection it's not high on anyone's dirty transmitters list (assuming a Chinese TCXO was not fitted).

I have never felt I could have worked more DX with a "better" rig.  Better antennas - sure, better rig - no.  My flying sucks up all my money.  None left for K4.
