Kenwoods new all-mode multibander
breaks new ground in more ways than one.
This TS-B2000 black box version offers the
same functionality and performance as the
TS-2000 minus the controls so you can
carry it in the trunk of your car, or set up on
the desk with your personal computer.

High-duty Transmitter Section
This transceiver is the perfect
choice for contesting, mobiling
and FSK applications, delivering
up to 100 (AM: 25) watts on
HF/50/144MHz bands. Output is
50 (AM: 12.5) watts on the
440MHz band, and 10 (AM: 2.5)
watts on 1200MHz*. But theres
more than just power: the built-in
TCXO ensures excellent frequency stability 0.5ppm (except in FM mode).
*Minimum output is 5 watts for HF/50/144/440MHz
bands, 1 watt for 1200MHz.
CW Features
In addition to the new Auto Tune function, there is a full range of
CW features. The full/semi break-in switching and delay time
settings are fully adjustable. In semi break-in the delay time
between key release and active receive mode can be set for
between 50ms and 1000ms.When using VOX operation the delay
time can be set for between 150ms and 3000ms. Other CW
features include pitch control (400-1000Hz), side tone monitor
with 10-step volume setting, DSP-based rise time adjustment, and
CW reverse mode.
FSK Features
When operating in FSK mode, you can select shift frequencies
(170,200,425 and 850Hz) and switch both KEY polarity and Hi/Low
tones to suit your RTTY device.Additionally,the FSK reverse function
lets you match transmission methods to the other party if necessary,
for example changing the BFO frequency from LSB (normal) to
USB (reverse).
FM Features
As well as switchable Narrow/Wide deviation modes, the
TS-2000/2000X/B2000 has built-in CTCSS functionality with 38
EIA-standard sub-tones settings plus 1750Hz tone burst. Other
features include DCS (104 codes), both cross-band and fixed-band
repeater operation, and 1200MHz ALT.
Data Communication Features
Packet filter bandwidth is fully selectable to match packet speed,
and you can also switch ACC2 (PKD) input/output levels. For
PSK31 mode, the menu offers a 100Hz bandwidth IF-DSP filte
Expanded Power and Performance
DX Cluster (Packet Cluster) Tune
DX cluster information received on the sub band is not just
displayed on the LCD:it can also be used for instantly setting up the
main band frequency to cluster
information.Up to 10 items can be
stored in memory.
Built-in 1200/9600bps TNC
The simple 2-chip TNC is compliant with the AX.25 protocol for
Skycommand System II+ and DX cluster tune.
Dual-Channel Watch
Provision of main and sub bands enables dual-channel watch.This
all-mode multibander can simultaneously receive two frequencies,
even on the same band, allowing such combinations as HF+V/UHF,
VHF+VHF,UHF+UHF and VHF+UHF (the sub band is used exclusively
for 144/440MHz reception on
FM/AM).This means, for instance,
that you can pick up local information on V/UHF while operating
HF on the main band.
Satellite Communications
Satellite operations are enhanced with the IF-DSP,10 dedicated memory
channels, Doppler effect frequency adjustment (manual) and the
ability to choose either normal or reverse shift for the trace.
