2013 The TS-990S comes equipped with dual receivers for simultaneous dual reception on different bands, it also TS-990 features narrow-band roofi ng fi lters on the main receiver in a full down-conversion confi guration. The new TS-990S achieves the highest basic reception performance of any radio in the TS series, through the careful selection of circuits, components and accelerating analysis using triple DSP confi guration. The Trio tone has evolved into Kenwood tone. Also, thanks to the
