Kenwood did show a new hf and a new vhf rig at the Tokyo ham fest, but I've seen no model numbers or other info. Kenwood sure could improve their dsp noise filter as processors have gotten faster and use less power now. Bob Tinney, K8LR, tinneyb at charter.net Here's a link to a rig they showed last year. Looks kinda familiar. The audio is Japanese, but you can get an idea of what it looks like. 73 Tom W7WHY http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O_GCvYfbKgA
