Description
The Kenwood R-599A is the revised second iteration of the R-599 (1973/74), still covering the 160- to 10-metre amateur bands plus the CB band, with optional 2 m and 6 m expansion. The double-conversion set (1st IF 8.295-8.895 MHz, 2nd IF 3.395 MHz) offers AM, FM, SSB and CW with purely analogue, continuous tuning and no memory channels. With the T-599A transmitter it forms the second generation of the "599 twins".
