Ive had an early and late K3 here on loan and have kept my TS-950SD. What Im
really looking for is a TS-950SDX.
One thing Kenwood does better is the RX/TX audio on SSB in particular and
Ive had a 830, 930, and 940 prior.
The 950 series switches in a 20 or 30dB pad (I forget which) between
500-1500 KHz which has eliminated any Topband BCB problems here and would
make for easier filtering in other areas of the planet.
The question I have is when is the SDR rig going to become the all around
performance leader?

I owned a well filtered Elecraft K3 and a TS-590S Kenwood together. I found
that for city noise the 590S had a more effective DSP noise blanker (the
NB2), slightly better DSP noise reduction, and equally good BCB rejection.
The K3 had slightly better CW filtering and "cleaner" ultimate signal on
160M with the available very narrow roofing filters, those narrower than
the 590S. However no 160 DX on the K3 was inaudible on the Kenwood.
I currently own the 590S mainly for its NB2 function and easy user
interface.
