Icom IC-7410 vs Kenwood TS-590S
Home / Comparison tool / Icom IC-7410 vs Kenwood TS-590S
Icom IC-7410 or Kenwood TS-590S? I put both radios side by side: data from the manufacturers’ spec sheets and photos at the same scale. The Icom IC-7410 comes out better: AM power, spectrum scope and waterfall; the Kenwood TS-590S: current draw on transmit, weight and memory channels.
