I think you are a bit mistaken there ... (In order to use this machine, amateur radio license is required) .... Actually all you need is an AC power supply and an antenna. Cheers.

Nothing on Kenwoods site or a google search turns up with these new series radios.
Where did you get this information at?

What is a Flax license?

April fools has already passed.

Anyone can buy these radios but can only operate on the amateur bands according to their license class.

So if you don't have an amateur licence - and you give it 110v and a resonant antenna - it won't work? hehehehe

I'm not going to waste my time and answer that.

Yes, there is no answer ... . As hams we can accidentally be a little pompous at times and its useful to be reminded form time to time that we are nothing special.

Huh??? This is nonsense. The 590SG was the only other version released.

Correct....13.8V will work however
