You control the TS-2000/2000X/B2000 from the portable Commander (CMD). Voice is transmitted from the CMD unit on the 440MHz band. Control signals are also sent from the CMD unit on the 440MHz band. The HF signal received by the TS-2000/2000X/B2000 is relayed to the CMD unit on the 144MHz band. You can confirm the HF frequency on the LCD of the CMD. The TS-2000/2000X/B2000 is fully equipped for Kenwoods Skycommand System II+. With just a handheld transceiver you can relax in your garden while DXing from your shack. Alternatively, you could enjoy HF access via the multibander in your parked car while taking in a baseball game. Conventionally two extra transceivers are required for KSS operation a Commander and a Transporter but the TS-2000/2000X/B2000 has Transporter functions built in.This means you can operate it remotely with a single mobile or handheld unit, such as the TH-D7A or TM-D700A, transmitting control signals to the Transporter, which also relays your voice to the HF radio. In return, HF signals are transmitted back to the Commander. This system allows you to transmit and receive HF signals, set frequencies (with LCD confirmation), switch memory channels, and much more all remotely. Kenwood Skycommand System II+ is the Kenwood Skycommand System II+ most sophisticated version yet developed, enabling full-duplex operation with access to such HF functions as RIT/XIT, mode switching (USB, FM, etc.), split-frequency operations on/off, and memory shift. Control is effected via simple TNC, compatible with the AX.25 protocol. In addition, if a second TS-2000/2000X/ B2000 unit is used as the Commander, you have control over noise reduction, noise blanker on/off and antenna switching among other functions. Other Features Large, amber-colored backlit LCD Backlit front keys Compatible with optional DRU-3A digital recording unit Key operation announcement with optional VS-3 voice synthesizer (option) Programmable function keys Transverter (displays up to 19.99999GHz) RF gain control All-mode squelch Simple visual scan Auto simplex checker Auto repeater offset (144/1200MHz) DTMF remote control Built-in keyer Noise blanker Auto power-off Enhanced Operating Ease Automatic Antenna Tuner The built-in antenna tuner which also operates when the radio is in receive mode covers amateur bands from 1.9 to 50MHz, with rapid tuning lock when using presets. 300 Memory Channels This transceiver provides a bank of 300 memories (plus 1 call channel for each band), with 290 assignable by name and 10 available for programmable scan.The scroll function lets you browse memory contents,memory channel copy sends the contents of one channel to another, lock-out memory changes the scan map to exclude certain channels,and memory shift alters the frequency stored in a channel. In addition, there are 10 quick memories to capture a current operation on-the-fly ideal for contest operation. Multiple Scan Functions A full range of scan functions is provided, including MHz scan, memory scan, and call scan. Group scan mode covers all 300 memory channels in groups of 10, and programmable band scan will search a frequency spread between two VFO settings (the scan-hold function stops the scanning for 5 seconds).A new feature is programmable slow scan,which will automatically slow down to check a frequency range youre interested in. As well as varying scan speed, you can choose either time-operated (TO) or carrieroperated (CO) busy-stop-resume. Menu System All of the power and functions of the TS-2000/2000X/B2000 can be accessed through the menu-driven display interface on the front panel.You may also activate the Quick Menu feature to access only your most commonly-used functions. Commander (CMD) TH-D7A or TM-D700A 440MHz/144MHz TS-2000/2000X/B2000 with built-in Transporter (TRP) 440MHz band 440MHz band 144MHz band HF Antenna Voice signals Control signals Confirmation of HF frequency HF receive audio All-mode multibander: HF/50/144/440/1200MHz* in one compact rig offering wide-band receive (500kHz to 1300MHz, non-contiguous) and 100W output (HF/50/144MHz) ideal for both base station use and mobile operation. *TS-2000 TS-B2000 require optional UT-20 1200MHz all-mode unit. The UT-20 can only be installed by a qualified technician; do not attempt to install it yourself. Black box version: The TS-B2000 can be used exclusively for computer control or in a vehicle with a remote head*. *Optional RC-2000 mobile controller Dual-channel receive: Featuring an all-mode multiband transceiver (with satellite mode) plus a sub 144/440MHz FM/AM receiver, so two frequencies (HF/50/144/440/1200*: ALL MODE 144/440MHz: FM/AM) can be received simultaneously, even on the same band (144/440MHz). * With optional UT-20 1200MHz all-mode unit Digital signal processing: IF-DSP (main band) combines with AF-DSP (sub band) to provide precision filtering and interference reduction. Satellite communications: Main-band circuits are used for satellite mode, which thus benefits from IF-DSP. Striking design: With its large amber LCD and backlit keys, the distinctive front panel of the TS-2000/2000X improves operating ease. Kenwood Skycommand System II+: Built-in Transporter function means the TS-2000/2000X/ B2000 can be operated remotely with one handheld transceiver. High frequency stability: Built-in TCXO offers p rofessional performance 0.5ppm* (-10~+50 C). *Main-band SSB, CW, FSK, AM modes only. High-speed processing: Superior performance is assured with two 16-bit DSP chips, double-precision computing and a 100MHz speed CPU, plus 24-bit A/D and D/A converters. Other features include a mobile controller and radio control software (both options), built-in auto antenna tuner, DX cluster tune, and an antenna terminal dedicated to HF low-band reception.
