No it is not ! but…while inspecting some hi-res pictures of the announced Kenwood TS-990 I’ve noticed a detail that immediately reminded me to the April Fool’s day….

At the top of the TS-990 display, date displayed is 1st April 2012
I’m sure is not a Kenwood late April Food Joke, but it’s certainly a funny detail !
You can display some Hi-Res pictures of the Kenwood TS-990 by searching on Google Images or just in the back cover page of the June 2012 QST !
The only pictures present on the web of the new Kenwood TS990 are the same as the one published on QST, we’ll have to wait for some pictures of the new TS-990 from Dayton visitors.
Kenwood TS-990
The final release date for the Kenwood TS-990S is however Winter 2012 so don’t expect to use it before Christmass 2012 !
Lot’s of curiosity is around the final TS-990 aspect, since there is no real official picture of the product and what is currently available on the net is commonly considered a fake.
What is sure is that the TS-990 or TS-990S will have a dual TFT display and dual receiver and will be an HF+50MHz top of the Line Kenwood Amateur Radio product.
