If Kenwood released such a beast someone would complain that it doesn't have a cup holder 😂
Probably!!
It only goes up to 2m!
and if it is aimed at the British market and does not have a built in kettle for brewing tea there going to be trouble at mill
April Fools. LOL
You cannot have enough ant ports.
Was almost ready to second mortgage my home, but at 71, I probably wouldn't live long enough to figure out all the buttons. Good one, thanks Cal.
You and me both!!
Just get the optional AI control-assistant with the female voice
Dont leave money for the kids hihi
Wow, mind-boggling. That was fantastic, Callum. You definitely had me going. Thanks for the April fools. LOL. Hope you have a fantastic week.

You too Steve!
Superb,had me completely fooled right up to the end, If Kenwood did ever produce one then you would be the perfect salesman for them.
Hah!! You had me!!! I had just woken up when I watched this and was getting all keen till you came clean about being April 1st. Very well done, top marks. 👍👍 The sad thing is that I was relieved and happy that Kenwood were still in the game. Oh well, I live in hopes. Great video, love it. 👍🤣😆🤣
I would be happy if Kenwood would just produce any new HF rigs.
Hahaha! 😂😂
Had me going there for a minute! I was thinking, "dang, I'm going to going to look this up on Kenwood's site, to see when they're available!"
Well played mate!
But it would be a fantastic rig.
73 from west Texas!
Yes, good fun.
While most of us appreciate this as an April Fools prank, Kenwood should probably consider giving you a call...
I was just about to Google "TS-1090S " as you mentioned April fools.... Got me.
Oh no! I win that one.. You can get me back another day :)
Yep, you had me... Hook, line, sinker and copy of Angling Times. Well done Cal!
Brilliant!
It's so big, it provides its own ground
Good point!
You're right about the specs being completely insane. 😂
Nice!! Well done. Had me going then the perfectly placed April Fools. Thanks Callum, Needed a laugh.
Glad you enjoyed it Greg! Have a great day!
I honestly near crapped my pants. And then I remembered what day it was. Nice one Cal.
HAHA
The word outboard put me on a different track... Kenwood, Yamaha, get busy. The world needs this!
This just popped up and was ready to break out the checkbook when I saw the video. Then you pulled a real good one. 😂😂😂
Sorry! LOL
Thank goodness it has tomb eaters.
I was really looking forward to the Yaesu FT-819 with built in over the horizon radar mode.
Will just have to settle for the Kenwood TS-1090S for my portable QRP.
OTH radar mode.. You have me thinking!
@@DXCommanderHQ Uh-oh! How much power can you crank that amp up to? Do you have room in the field for a portable Duga style antenna?
You know what? With modern synchronisation we could get a whole load of hams around the country to sync their transmitters, and another lot to sync their receivers to try and receive it. The transmitters and receivers would have to be planned to be at least 35 miles from each other though.
Cheers Callum, the phone is ringing off the hook....... 73 de Richard
Sorry Richard!! LOL :) PS - Say hi to the guys!!
I would not believe everything thing on YT. Especially today. But it is kind of hilarious. Y’all have a good one!
Hi Callum. You had me! I thought Kenwood had disappeared from amateur radio. Then I saw your UA-cam suggestion, and thought, oh wow, Kenwood haven't gone, but that does look crazy. We'll done. I fell for it.
Good fun..
Typical Cal! No “foolin” around. Straight to the point. You forgot to mention the UV-5R charge cradle that swings out from the side. So cool. My pre-order is in. Can’t wait.
That's an option!
That was super great. Just remember, fooling me doesn't mean you can fool anyone else. 73!
I think UA-cam algorithm is buggered. This is well out of date Callum I’ve seen it as for the radio is it really worth it I’m quite happy with my Baofeng uvxqrp special edition waterproof rugged manpac 200W,with thermonuclear battery.
So this video is a spoof. Guess you know that.
2:00 Regarding the 3D audio. It's amazing to me that the manufacturers haven't yet embraced the concepts of the 'head-related transfer function', where in (using SDR technology and some SW) we could have a section of the spectrum (perhaps matching the scope or waterfall width) audibly laid out in front of you, left to right, perhaps even with all the SSB signals correctly demodulated and aurally positioned (left to right, sound stage) as per their relative position in the spectrum. The ones to the left and right would be weighted down in volume, but just loud enough that the skilled operator could turn their attention (using the so-called 'cocktail party effect') to listen-in to other QSOs. The 3D comes in because (for example) the local 2m Repeater on the 2nd receiver might be aurally positioned (for example) seemingly above or behind one's head. This technology has been around long enough that the patents must have expired by now, so it's odd that nobody is employing any of this.
Totally...
Well played Cal! I am sure there is some insidious mind somewhere in these companies engineering departments trying to do something much like this, somewhere.
Yeah.. They'll see this video and think... "Hmmm. we could do that!"
Hi Callum - I am not a follower of your channel and came across this looking for another Kenwood review. It was actually an older review from ARRL - and the radio at that time was $12000 as I recall. Anyway, I watched this and while you were describing the features (including a built-in windows computer) I actually though that Kenwood was attempting to compete with Apache Labs LOL!!! Great video spoof my friend. 73!
Nice one!!
what? No cup holder?! Almost broke my arm grabbing my check book!
Yeah.. Optional Extra!
Bloody hell Cal...you got me going there for a minute ..
Woops! LOL
Ohhhhhh you had me for a second!!!! Then I said wait today is April 1st lmao. 73s from Maryland!!! W3nks
Oh no! HAHA
Yep….totally suckered in!
The extremely convincing confusion about how many RF sockets at the back and the correcting text on screen!
I know...!! HAHAHA LOL.. and I wrote the data sheet! :)
It’s 2am in the U.S., I just got up and saw this. ( it took me a minute to realize what this was ) Hilarious, thank you for starting my day with a laugh. 😂
Go back to bed John! LOL
Your a bad man Callum
Great!
Early buyers can take advantage of a special offer for triple mono headphones that provide spatial band perception. Callum, could you clarify the function of the forehead driver? Is it a subwoofer?
It's a tunable sub. Correct LOL!!!!
I just took out a 2nd mortgaged my house to buy one. Hope it works as good as advertised.
HAHA
Just preordered my three!
Cor, it would be a fun toy though!
I fell for it for a minute because I keep hearing Kenwood is getting back into the game...lol...thanks for the laugh!!
Any time!
@@DXCommanderHQ it would be truly The Radio!!!
LOL.... My brain was hurting trying to figure out how I was going to come up with 18K lol. You got me Cal.
HAHAHA
Just placed my pre order deposit with ML&S earlier today, it’s on a 15 year lead time 😮
HAHA
ha ha ha...excellent Cal..., I got about one minute in before it dawned on me what was going on here...well played...
Hahaha
Loved the April 1st Product Review
Thank you Arthur! It was good fun. I think next year we'll do the introduction of the DX Commander 9000 :)
@@DXCommanderHQ Maybe there will be a Yaesu Samurai Model 10,000 too
I think MLS/Kenwood should donate one to you Callum! They'd get far more than $18000 out of you in terms of publicity!
Good idea!
Damn you, you got me. I just woke up at 4:45am EST and forgot what day it was.
Sorry Bill!! LOL
Good one! We all fell for this prank, because we desperately want this ham unicorn
Yes :)
Nice one. I liked the FT8 mini screen.
Yeah me too :)
Listens to video and gets excited...then looks at Calendar on fridge 😂😂😂
Woops!
@@DXCommanderHQ the £18k ticket price should have given it away but you never know these days when looking at some of the kit out there...
Ha. Got me. I was thinking what?!? Well played.
What? LOL!!
Ah ya got me! Mind you it's easy to fool a fool. Well done Cal. Where do I leave my deposit? 73's de Syd
Send deposit to me Syd! LOL
Very funny, surprised no one complained about the price 😅
HAHA
You got me on that one , Kenwood should make it and release it next year on April 1st but call it the TS-1090C (C for Callum). :) 73
Haha yes. Very good!
Well done haha, Had me in stitches for a bit. Love it! 73.
Many thanks!
Very funny Callum. They should make it.
Yes!
3 VFOs with only two hands. Love it!😂😂😂
Yes! Extra arms are optional.
Surround sound! Wooooooo!
You got me good started send texts alerting the world and wam you pulled the carpet right out from under me
Got me, happy April fools day 😊
Brilliant Kevin! Same to you!
have a great April fools day Callum. 🤣😂🤣
Calum, you are the master when it comes to April fool's jokes. That was good 👍
Tnx Ron!
Callum, You're a class A gold plated GIT 😂
Brilliant!
You got me!! I was scheming up who would buy such a beast. The guy who only wants "the best". Whether he can run it or not.
Yeah, I know... Wooah. Big dollars :)
Happy 4/1, Callum!
Had me at the beginning Cal! Excellent my friend !!!
Rock on!
I'm still LOVIN my TS-590SGV
Ah.. You bought one! LOL :)
Got me. Your concept here isn't far enough off the actual top end rigs being sold these days to be incredulity-inducing. Well played....sort-of.
Too bad I'm seeing this six months hence, but you still "got" me!
Positively so brilliant that before I watched it to the end I started looking for the radio, specs, etc. Wanted to see how they could top the 990. Very enjoyable! ,- W2FKN
HAHA! Sorry about that.
You would got me longer if you changed the 990 on the call hahahah nice one
You have to leave a "hint" in..!
Doh! You had me hook line and sinker.
Hahahahaha i just love this 1st of April vidz :)
You got me hooked til about half way in, then i was hold on a min, its the 1st of April :)
Well played Cal. Talk to you soon, i hope.
Glad you enjoyed!
For all that money, I want 1.25m and 70cm, too. What’s the MARS mod going to be like? Can we add microwave bands? 😂
You had me going, I'm not going to lie. I was sitting here like WHAT?!@
HAHA
Damn it! I was already writing the check!!
HAHA!
just wait until somone askes .." can i wideband it for 11m " 🤣
Awesome Cal🎉
Shane! LOL
You little devil had me all worked up😂
Good One, Ya got me! BUT my neighbor told me that BAOFENG is coming out with something like it next month.😮
Yes, but thirs is bigger and only 5kW.
@@DXCommanderHQ 😂
Last year I was really hoping you were right about the TS590SG/2 meters because I really like my TS590SG!!! 73 de NC3Y.
Yes, that was fun.
It is almost noon here… But I like the idea of Atmos Ham Radio - Hash in 3D.
3D.. yes!
I called my college kid and told him that next semester payment is his responsibility, i'm using the money for something else.
haha
yeah you got me Sir,well played.
Tnx!
Hilarious April Fool’s joke. You almost had me until I saw the Windows 11.
Great video and funny 😅 yea my goodness a dream radio quite impressive 😊73 dit dit!!!
Yeah! :)
Nah.... no fridge, no microwave, no coffee machine. I have to think twice about that one. Thanks Callum.
Optional extras!!!
great vid cal.
You bloody got me! Haha all the best!
Look at the date at the lower right corner .....
Oh yes.. I didn't know that!
Looks like a good Cb radio
A little slip up there mate, SSTV is on 144.500, 144,300 is SSB calling. But very funny nevertheless. Keep up the great work.🎉
We were on a different VFO..! LOL
I worked Clipperton 10 watts….do I need a bog radio with 200 knobs…..YES. YES YES
...how...did you do that with a straight face?...i'll tell you, if Kenwood - or anyone - really makes a beast like that, you should def get a healthy cut for stoking the flame of desire!...waiting to see what's rolling out for 2024! Cheers and 73!
Yeah, good fun!
What, no 220 MHz? Kenwood really dropped the ball here!
Optional!!
@@DXCommanderHQ Does it do 4m?
Callum!!! You are a bastard... You had me fooled. You got me good.
Woops!
Only Callum would be mad enough to buy one😂
HAHAHA
So much great stuff gets released on April 1’st !
Haha
@@DXCommanderHQ what I’d like to see is one of the big 3 make a quality clone of the UV-5R 🤣. Actually that’d be pretty good. Any takers Icom, Yaesu, Kenwood ???
@@oldfartonabmx2122 That's what the FT-4X and FT-65 are.
You got me mate!
Even if it is real it would be too risky of a purchase Considering some high-end radios, the manufacturers are having trouble getting repair parts. For them example, the icon C7610. Which I do have and hope. I don't have any issues.
Nice one. If it would have printed manual, would manual arrive in a lorry? Manual in 12 parts, 800kg of print, 18000 pages or something around that figures?
Yes, and that's the base manual. The advanced one is a download only.
@@DXCommanderHQ Good, i have flat rate internet through fiber😉
Do you need a office chair with roller wheels so you can slide from one end of the rig to other end ???
I think it comes with one!
@@DXCommanderHQ I should hope so and it would be good exercise for the legs.
I had a quick glance at my calendar 😂
Damn that was a good April fools. He had me going.
They should bring you on at their marketing team hahah.
0:03 Brochure or sheet has "Mhz" twice, just below the image. Supposed to be MHz with an uppercase 'H', everywhere and always.
I bet you’re fun at parties
