HF/50/144/440/1200MHz

All-Mode, Multiband, Engineered for Excellence
Kenwoods new TS-2000/2000X/B2000 all-mode multibander may be compact, but its equipped with all the features you would expect to find in a top-of-the-line rig.
IF Digital Signal Processing
The TS-2000/2000X/B2000 is serious about digital signal processing. Kenwoods advanced digital technology converts analog waveforms into digital data in real-time, enabling such digital processing as IF filtering, slope tune, auto notch and AGC. IF-stage DSP on main-band transmit and receive including V/UHF bands allows the greatest range of control and unprecedented performance.

DSP Detection

IF-stage DSP means that the TS-2000/2000X/B2000 offers significantly lower distortion and higher quality detection in all modes. (FM: digital AF filter)

Digital Filtering

There is absolutely no need to purchase optional filters: digital IF filters are available for each mode (FM: digital AF filter), offering performance superior to anything possible with analog circuitry. When operating in SSB/FM/AM modes, this digital filtering enables both high- and low-cut frequency variance. Employing slope tune, you can thus cut out
noise with minimal effect SHIFT Desired on sound quality. In AM signal (CW) mode, the high-cut frequency can reduce interInterfering signal (SSB) ference by controlling the IF pass bandwidth useful for receiving shortwave broadcasts. In CW mode, the WIDTH funcWIDTH tion is supplemented by Desired center frequency shift, signal (CW) allowing adjacent signal Interfering interference to be tuned Interfering signal signal (SSB) (CW) out. The WIDTH function also provides noise reduction capabilities in FSK with 4 steps available: 250, 500, 1000 and 1500Hz. And thanks to AF-stage DSP, independent control of high-cut and low-cut frequencies (12 steps each) provides slope tune capability in FM as well.

IF Auto Notch

Since it is working with a DSP notch filter Beat digital signal, IF Auto Notch (main band, SSB mode) can provide Conventional notch filter slope extremely sharp filtering Target signal of carrier frequencies from broadcast and continuous beat sources. The interfering beat is removed far more accurately than in conventional analog systems, and Auto Notch will even track changes in the beat signal (tracking speed can be varied in 5 steps).
Hi-cut slope tune Interfering signal (SSB)
Lo-cut slope tune Desired signal (SSB) Interfering signal (CW)

IF AGC

The digital AGC circuit (main band only) delivers very fast release characteristics, surpassing even the best analog designs. You can select a custom release time (20 steps) for each mode, except FM.

AF Digital Signal Processing
DSP is also executed at the AF stage, offering Beat Cancel and CW Auto Tune functions. It also enables you to achieve remarkable noise reduction and apply custom enhancements to your transmitted voice.

Beat Cancel

Automatic Beat Cancel, available for the main band (SSB and AM modes), immediately eliminates multiple beats interfering with a desired signal. It works well in combination with IF Auto-Notch (SSB).

Beat Canceled

Noise Reduction
There are 2 types of noise reduction: LEM (NR1) and SPAC (NR2). LEM (Line Enhancer Method) available for all modes on the main band and FM/AM on the sub band automatically forms a filter shape around the target signal for a custom, dynamic noise reduction capability. The degree of enhancement can also be set manually for mainband use. The SPAC (Speech Processing/Auto Correlation) Line Enhancer Method Formed filter function utilizes a special staNoise Noise tistical/correlation algorithm to pull out weak signals that Signal are buried deep in noise. SPAC Method Although available for all Extract signal modes on the main band, its from the noise Noise Noise especially useful for tough CW conditions. The correlation time setting can be adjusted in 10 steps between 2ms and Signal 20ms.

Manual Beat Cancel
A new Manual Beat Cancel function, which operates as a manual AF notch, can be used in all modes though it is particularly effective in CW.

TX Audio Shaping
You have 3 ways to tailor audio quality with DSP: the TX/RX equalizer (SSB/FM/AM), TX filter bandwidth (SSB/AM), and speech processor (SSB/FM/AM). The TX/RX equalizer offers 4 frequency response settings on SSB, FM and AM: high boost for improved clarity, formant pass to minimize extraneous sounds, bass boost for stronger sound, and conventional mode for an analog sound. On SSB and AM transmit you can choose between 6 TX filter bandwidth settings according to your microphone and operating requirements. The speech processor works across three bands (SSB, FM and AM) for high compression and minimal distortion.

CW Auto Tune You no longer have to adjust the VFO while operating on CW CW Auto Tune does it for you automatically by adjusting the VFO to your preset pitch at the touch of a button.
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.
Built-in 1200/9600bps TNC
The simple 2-chip TNC is compliant with the AX.25 protocol for Sky Command 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.

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).

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.

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 crossband and fixed-band repeater operation, and 1200MHz ALT.

Kenwood Skycommand System II Plus
The TS-2000/2000X/B2000 is fully equipped for Kenwoods Skycommand System II Plus. 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 Plus is the most sophisticated version yet developed, enabling full-duplex operation with access to such HF functions as RIT/XIT, mode switching (USB, FM, etc.), splitfrequency 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.

LIGHTNING PROTECTION

Even in areas where lightning storms are less common, there are usually a limited number of storms each year. Consider carefully how to protect your equipment and home from lightning. The installation of a lightning arrestor is a start, but there is more that you can do. For example, terminate your antenna system transmission lines at an entry panel that you install outside your home. Ground this entry panel to a good outside ground, then connect the appropriate feed lines between the entry panel and your transceiver. When a lightning storm occurs, disconnecting the feed lines from your transceiver will ensure added protection.
Transmitting without connecting an antenna or other matched load may damage the transceiver. Always connect the antenna to the transceiver before transmitting. All fixed stations should be equipped with a lightning arrester to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and transceiver damage.
Note: The transceivers protection circuit will activate when the SWR is greater than 2.5:1; however, do not rely on protection to compensate for a poorly functioning antenna system.

1 INSTALLATION

DC POWER SUPPLY CONNECTION
In order to use this transceiver, you need a separate 13.8 V DC power supply that must be purchased separately. Do not directly connect the transceiver to an AC outlet. Use the supplied DC power cable to connect the transceiver to a regulated power supply. Do not substitute a cable with smaller gauge wires. The current capacity of the power supply must be 20.5 A peak or more.

Press [SCAN/ SG.SEL] again to resume scanning. Press [SCAN/ SG.SEL] to stop scanning while the Tone frequency ID scan is active.

FM CTCSS OPERATION

You may sometimes want to hear calls only from specific persons. When using FM mode, the Continuous Tone Coded Squelch System (CTCSS) allows you to ignore (not hear) unwanted calls from other persons who are using the same frequency. A CTCSS tone is sub-audible and is selectable from among the 38 standard tone frequencies. Select the same CTCSS tone as the other stations in your group. You will not hear calls from stations other than those using the same CTCSS tone.
Note: CTCSS does not cause your conversation to be private. It only relieves you from listening to unwanted conversations.

Press [SCAN/ SG.SEL] again to resume scanning. Press [SCAN/ SG.SEL] to stop scanning while the CTCSS tone frequency ID scan is active.
Note: Received signals are audible while scanning is in progress.

FM DCS OPERATION

Digital Code Squelch (DCS) is another FM application which allows you to ignore (not hear) unwanted calls. It functions the same way as CTCSS. The only differences are the encode/ decode method and the number of selectable codes. For DCS, you can select from 104 different codes listed in the table below. 1 Press [A/B] to select VFO A or VFO B. tA or tB appears to show which VFO is selected. 2 Select a band. 3 Select an operating frequency. 4 Press [FM/ AM/ NAR] to select FM mode. FM appears. 5 Turn the SQL control to adjust the squelch. 6 Press [/ DCS/SEL] to switch the DCS function ON (or OFF). DCS appears when the function is ON.
You will hear calls only when the selected code is received. To answer the call, press [SEND] or press and hold Mic [PTT], then speak into the microphone. Skip steps 7 to 9 if you have already programmed the appropriate DCS code.
Note: You cannot use DCS with the Tone or CTCSS functions.

DCS CODE ID SCAN

This function scans through all DCS codes to identify the incoming DCS code on a received signal. You may find this useful when you cannot recall the DCS code that the other persons in your group are using. 1 Press [FUNC], [/ DCS/SEL].

COMMUNICATING AIDS

SELECTING YOUR FREQUENCY
In addition to turning the Tuning control or pressing Mic [UP]/ [DWN], there are several other ways to select your frequency. This section describes additional methods of frequency selection that may save you time and effort. s Direct Frequency Entry When the desired frequency is far removed from the current frequency, directly entering a frequency from the numeric keypad is usually the fastest method. 1 Press [ENT]. - - -. - - -. - - appears. 2 Turn the MULTI/ CH control. Clockwise increases the frequency, counterclockwise decreases the frequency. 3 Press [1MHz/ SEL] to exit the function. MHz disappears. If you prefer to change the frequency in steps of 100 kHz or 500 kHz steps rather than 1 MHz, press [FUNC], [1MHz/ SEL] then turn the MULTI/ CH control to select 100 kHz or 500 kHz.

CW BREAK-IN

Break-in allows you to transmit CW without manually switching between transmit and receive modes. Two types of Break-ins are available: Semi Break-in and Full Break-in. Semi Break-in: When the key contacts open, the transceiver automatically waits for the passage of the time period that you have selected. The transceiver then returns to receive mode. Full Break-in: As soon as the key contacts open, the transceiver returns to receive mode.

CHANGING KEYING SPEED

The keying speed of the electronic keyer is fully adjustable. Selecting the appropriate speed is important in order to send error-free CW that other operators can copy solidly. Selecting a speed that is beyond your keying ability will only result in mistakes. You will obtain the best results by selecting a speed that is close to the speed used by the other station. 1 Press [CW/ FSK/ REV] to select CW mode. CW appears. 2 Press [KEY/ DELAY]. The current keying speed appears. The default is 20 (WPM).
USING SEMI BREAK-IN OR FULL BREAK-IN
1 Press [CW/ FSK/ REV] to select CW mode. CW appears. 2 Press [VOX/ LEVEL]. The VOX LED lights. 3 Press [FUNC], [KEY/ DELAY]. The current setting (Full or delay time) appears. The default is Full Break-in.
3 While keying the paddle and listening to the transmit sidetone, turn the MULTI/ CH control to select the appropriate speed. The speeds range from 10 (WPM) to 60 (WPM), in steps of 1. The larger the number, the faster the speed. 4 Press [KEY/ DELAY] again to complete the setting.
Note: When using the semi-automatic Bug function, the selected speed applies only to the rate that dots are sent.
4 Turn the MULTI/ CH control to select Full Break-in or a delay time for Semi Break-in. Delay time ranges from 5 to 100 (50 ms to 1000 ms) in steps of 5. 5 Begin sending. The transceiver automatically switches to transmit mode. When FBK (Full Break-in) is selected: The transceiver immediately switches to receive mode when the key opens. When a delay time is selected: The transceiver switches to receive mode after the delay time that you have selected has passed. 6 Press [FUNC], [KEY/ DELAY] again.

Note: x Unlike a TNC, a Multimode Communications Processor (MCP) serves as a communications interface in several digital modes such as Packet, RTTY, and AMTOR. You can cause it to switch among the modes by sending a single command from your computer. x If there is an amateur radio club in your area, consider becoming a member. You can often learn more in an hour from experienced hobbyists, than in a month of independent research. Ask on the local repeaters, or contact your national amateur radio organization (the ARRL in the U.S.A.) for information on local amateur radio clubs. Youll be glad you did.

BUILT-IN TNC

This transceiver has a built-in TNC which conforms to the AX.25 protocol. Since the built-in TNC has been designed to work with the Packet Cluster Tune {page 53} and Sky Commander II+ {page 83} functions, some of the enhanced TNC commands may not be available. For the commands supported by the built-in TNC, consult BUILT-IN TNC COMMAND LIST starting on page 110. The AX-25 protocol is used for communication between TNCs. The TNC accepts data from your personal computer and assembles it into packets. It then converts those packets to audio tones which the transceiver can transmit. The TNC also takes audio tones from the transceiver, converts them to data for the computer, and checks for errors in the data. In order to activate the built-in TNC, access Menu No. 55 and select ON. The default is OFF. PKT will appear to show that the built-in TNC is ON. The TNC mainly functions in Command or Converse mode. First, you should learn the difference between these two modes.
When you access a local PBBS for the first time, you often need to register as a new user. After you are successfully registered, it will then be available as your home PBBS. E-mail addressed to you will be held under a directory, called a mailbox, on your home PBBS. To send e-mail, you must designate the address of a recipient, using his or her call sign and the call sign of his or her home PBBS; ex. KD6NUH@KJ6HC. In this example, the e-mail is addressed to KD6NUH whose home PBBS is KJ6HC. If your home PBBS cannot find KJ6HC in its address file to forward your mail, you must designate the address in more detail. You may enter KD6NUH@KJ6HC.#ABC.CA, or KD6NUH@KJ6HC.#ABC.CA.USA, or up to KD6NUH@KJ6HC.#ABC.CA.USA.NA, as necessary. The complete address of a recipient living in the U.S.A., for example, should include an appropriate region code (preceded by a #), state, country, and continent abbreviations, as above. For further information, consult reference books which should be available at any store that handles Amateur Radio equipment. Web pages relating to Packet will also be helpful. On Internet search engines, use Packet Radio as key words to find those Web pages.

8 Begin sending data from your computer. Use Menu No. 50C to select the appropriate AF output level. The AF control cannot be used for this adjustment. Press [FUNC], [PWR/ TX MONI] to monitor your signals. Press [FUNC], [PWR/ TX MONI] again to quit this function. 9 When finished transmitting, enter a command from your computer to return to receive mode. The MAIN band LED changes from red (TX) to green (RX). If you pressed [SEND] in step 7, press [SEND] again. The frequencies (measured in kHz) commonly used for RTTY operation are listed below:
U.S.A./ Canada 1800 ~ ~ 3645 (DX: 3590) 7080 ~ 7100 (DX: 7040) 10140 ~ ~ 14099.~ ~ ~ ~ 28150
ARU Region 1 (Europe/ Africa) 1838 ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ 14099.~ ~ ~ ~ 28150
4 Select an operating frequency. 5 Press [CW/ FSK/ REV] to select FSK. FSK appears.
Note: You may adjust the carrier level when necessary. Press [FUNC], [MIC/ CAR] to enter the adjustment mode. With a key down condition, turn the MULTI/ CH control so that the ALC meter reads in the ALC zone but does not exceed the upper ALC zone limit.
6 If necessary to be compatible with the other station, press [FUNC], [CW/ FSK/ REV] to reverse the transceiver to the upper sideband. FSR appears.
Traditionally, the lower sideband is used for FSK operation. Press [FUNC], [CW/ FSK/ REV] to return to the lower sideband.
AMTOR/ PacTOR/ CLOVER/ G-TOR/ PSK31
Besides Packet and RTTY, digital modes which have been used among hams include AMTOR, PacTOR, CLOVER, G-TOR, and PSK31. This manual does not describe much about these modes. For details, consult reference books about Amateur Radio. AMTOR (AMateur Teleprinting Over Radio) has brought amateur HF digital communication into the computer age. It is the first error-free HF digital mode by which data bursts (not steady stream of data) are transmitted. PacTOR (Packet Teleprinting On Radio) has combined the best features of both AMTOR and Packet to improve the efficiency of HF digital communications. Like Packet and AMTOR, PacTOR sends error-free data using a handshaking method. Of all the Amateur Radio HF digital modes, CLOVER offers the best overall performance using a complicated modulation technique, automatic power adjustment and other advanced features. It may allow communications to be maintained under the worst conditions. G-TOR (Golay-coded Teleprinting Over Radio) is a relatively new Amateur Radio digital mode currently in use. G-TOR was developed specifically to handle the adverse conditions of communicating, across the solar system, with spacecraft during their missions. PSK31 was developed by an RTTY enthusiast, G3PLX, in the Great Britain. The operating technique is very similar to the conventional Baudot-RTTY, although more sensitive fine-tuning is required, as a PSK31 signal requires a tuning accuracy of a few Hertz. A special feature of PSK31 is that it allows the entire ASCII character set, including the back space character. Your MCP should handle some or all of the above modes. For available modes on your MCP, consult the instruction manual for the MCP. For the cable connections, see MCP AND TNC {page 95}. On most HF bands, audio frequency shift keying (AFSK) is used for the above modes. This method of modulation uses audio tones therefore either LSB or USB mode should be selected. Traditionally, LSB is used, similar to RTTY, with the exception of AMTOR which is normally operated in USB. AMTOR activity can be found on or near 14075 and 3637.5 kHz. These are also good starting places when searching for PacTOR, CLOVER, G-TOR, or PSK31 stations.

Note: When operating either SSTV or fax, use a fast AGC setting and switch OFF your Speech Processor, for best results.

DX PACKET CLUSTER TUNE

DX Packet Cluster is a packet network which consist of nodes and stations who are interested in DXing and contesting. If one station finds a DX station on the air, he or she sends a notice to his or her node. This node then passes the information to all its local stations as well as another node. This transceiver can display received DX information and hold the latest information on up to 10 DX stations. This transceiver is also capable of automatically tuning in a reported DX station. In order to use the Auto Tune function, access Menu No. 49A and select AUTO; the default is MANUAL. 1 Press [A/B] to select VFO A or VFO B. 2 Press the SUB AF control to activate the subreceiver if it is switched OFF. The orange SUB LED lights {page 45}. 3 Tune to the frequency of the target DX Packet Cluster node on the sub-receiver. 4 Access Menu No. 46 to confirm that SUB is selected. 5 Press [FUNC], [SET/ P.C.T.] to enter the Packet Cluster Tune (P.C.T.) mode. Each time new DX Packet Cluster data is received, the DX stations callsign in Morse code sounds and the information is displayed on the sub-receiver as shown below:

SATELLITE OPERATION

Amateur satellites receive on one band and transmit on another. Unlike in regular operation, Satellite mode can handle uplink/ downlink frequency combinations simultaneously in all operating modes as shown below. UPLINK
Band HF ~ 50 MHz HF ~ 50 MHz 144 MHz 430/ 440 MHz 1.2 GHz

DOWN LINK

144 MHz 430/ 440 MHz 1.2 GHz
Some satellites require a rotator that allows azimuth and elevation control, plus a high-gain directional antenna. The antenna must track the satellite which travels from horizon to horizon. Even so, many hams have been successfully using fixed omnidirectional antennas. If you are using a directional antenna, it would be wise to obtain a pass prediction program. Doppler Shift is another aspect that you must take into account when working the satellites. As a target satellite travels away, frequencies on which you will receive change. This transceiver has a function that automatically keeps the sum or difference between the two frequencies identical when you change the receive frequency. For further information, consult Internet Web pages relating to Amateur satellites. On Internet search engines, use AMSAT as key words to find those Web pages. Or, you can directly go to the AMSAT (the Radio Amateur Satellite Corporation) homepage at http://www.amsat.org. From AMSAT Web pages, you can download a variety of utilities, including pass prediction programs, which will ease your satellite operations.

13 MEMORY FEATURES

s Split-Frequency Channels 1 Press [A/B] to select VFO A or VFO B. tA or tB appears to show which VFO is selected. 2 Select the frequency, mode, etc. to be stored.

MEMORY RECALL AND SCROLL

There are two modes which allow you to retrieve frequencies and associated data that you stored in a memory channel: Memory Recall and Memory Scroll. Memory Recall: In this mode, the transceiver receives and transmits using a frequency that you retrieve. You can temporarily change the frequency and associated data without overwriting the contents of the memory channel when Menu No. 06B is set to ON. Memory Scroll: Use this mode to check the contents of the memory channels without changing the current receive frequency. In this mode, frequencies you retrieve are not used for receiving and transmitting. s Memory Recall

MEMORY-VFO SPLIT OPERATION
Under ENHANCED COMMUNICATIONS {page 31}, you learned about split-frequency operation using two VFOs. Recalling a split-frequency channel is another way to perform split-frequency operation. If you access Menu No. 06A and select ON, you can also use a memory channel and a VFO together for this operation, as follows: RX: Memory channel TX: VFO A or VFO B RX: VFO A or VFO B TX: Memory channel
2 Turn the MULTI/ CH control, or press Mic [UP]/ [DWN] to step through the memory channels. You can also change channels by entering a 3-digit number, such as 012, using the numeric keys, then pressing [ENT]. 3 To exit Memory Scroll mode, press [CLR]. The transceiver re-displays the memory channel or VFO frequency that was selected before you activated Memory Scroll.

QUICK MEMORY

Quick memory is designed to quickly and temporarily save data without specifying a particular memory channel. Use Quick memory to store data you will not use in future operating sessions. For example, as you tune across the band looking for DX, it is convenient to store stations that you want to contact. You can quickly jump between several different memory channels as you monitor them. This transceiver provides ten Quick memory channels (0_ to 9_) that can store the following data: VFO A frequency and operating mode Sub-receiver ON/ OFF RIT ON/ OFF VFO B frequency and operating mode Sub-receiver frequency and operating mode XIT ON/ OFF
RIT/ XIT offset frequency Receiver filter bandwidth Noise Blanker ON/ OFF DSP Noise Reduction OFF/ 1/ 2 DSP Auto Notch ON/ OFF FINE ON/ OFF DSP Beat Cancel ON/ OFF TX/ RX functions
5 Press a numeric key to change the selected Group number. The newly selected Group number appears in a larger font. 6 Press [M.IN] to store the settings. s Memory Group Select After you configure Memory Groups to the Memory Channels, you can select one or more of the Groups to be recalled in Memory Recall mode. To select Memory Groups: s 1 Press [FUNC], [MsVFO/ MG.SEL] to enter Memory Group Select mode. 2 Numbers 0 ~ 9 appear in the main dot-matrix display. The selected Memory Group numbers are displayed in larger fonts. To change the selection, press a numeric key. To select all the Memory Groups, press [/ DCS/SEL]. At least, one Memory Group must be selected.
STORING INTO QUICK MEMORY
Each time you store a new frequency, all previously stored frequencies are bumped to the next respective Quick memory channel. When all ten memory channels contain frequencies, storing one more frequency bumps the contents of memory channel 9 off the stack (the data is lost). The following diagram illustrates how the Quick Memory stacks the data in memory each time you press QUICK MEMO [M.IN].

This transceiver has a built-in TNC that is usually used for the Packet Cluster Tune {page 53} or SkyCommand II+ operations {page 83}. However, you can also utilize the built-in TNC as a high (9600 bps) or normal (1200 bps) speed TNC. The TNC can be controlled by an external PC that is connected to COM port on the rear panel {page 49}. Available TNC command set is listed in the Appendix. If you desire, you can connect an external TNC or proprietary TNC/ MCP to ACC2 connector. To interface an external TNC/ MCP with the TS-2000(X), refer to the ACC2 connector information {page 95} and accessing Menu Nos. 50B ~ 50F then configure and adjust the Menu parameters to work with the external TNC/ MCP.
Note: You do not have to disable the built-in TNC to interface with an external TNC. Both the main transceiver and sub-receiver can work independently unless the transceiver is transmitting on the same band.

TX MONITOR

TX monitor allows you to monitor the on-going transmission sound. This is convenient when you want to check the modulation sound quality of the transmission. In FSK mode, you can monitor the FSK signal that the TS-2000(X) is transmitting. 1 Press [FUNC], [PWR/ TX MONI]. 2 The current TX monitor setting appears. 3 Turn the MULTI/ CH control to select the monitor sound level from OFF, and 1 to 9. 4 Press [CLR] to store the selected TX monitor level.

4 The keys on the transceiver are unavailable while operating the Tuning control. The frequency cannot be changed. The Frequency Lock function or Lock All function is ON.
1 Review WRITING CONVENTIONS FOLLOWED. 2 Press [FUNC], [ATT/ F LOCK] to switch the function OFF. 3 Review MICROPROCESSOR RESET. After understanding what data will be lost, do a Partial Reset. If the problem remains, do a Full Reset. 4 Stop operating the Tuning control, then press the appropriate keys. Press [FUNC], [ATT/ F LOCK] to switch the function OFF. Or press [FUNC], [PRE/ LOCK A] to switch the function OFF. 1 Select USB or LSB for the mode. 2 Turn the LO/ WIDTH control counterclockwise and the HI/ SHIFT control clockwise. 3 Press [N.R./ LEVEL] to switch the function OFF. 4 Press [B.C./ MANUAL] to switch the function OFF.

SSB audio quality is very poor; the high or low audio frequencies are absent.
1 The wrong operation mode is selected for the receiver. 2 The LO/ WIDTH control or HI/ SHIFT control is incorrectly set. 3 Noise Reduction 1 or 2 is ON. 4 Beat Cancel is ON.
Problem No signals are received or receive sensitivity seems poor. Probable Cause 1 The SQL control is fully clockwise. 2 The Attenuator function is ON. 3 [SEND] was pressed, and the transceiver is now in transmit mode. Or, Mic [PTT] is pressed. 4 The receive bandwidth was incorrectly set. Corrective Action 1 Turn the SQL control counterclockwise. 2 Press [ATT/ F LOCK] to switch the function OFF. 3 Press [SEND] to return to receive mode. Or release Mic [PTT]. 4 Review DSP FILTERS and CHANGING THE RECEIVE FILTER BANDWIDTH, and set the controls accordingly. 5 Press [FUNC], [AT/ ANT1/2] to select the other antenna connector. 6 Press [PRE/ LOCK A] to switch the function ON. Turn the MAIN RF GAIN control fully clockwise. Page Ref.
5 The wrong antenna connector (ANT 1 or ANT 2) was selected. 6 The receive preamplifier is OFF. No signals are received or receive sensitivity seems poor; S-meter is reading full scale. Received signals are totally unintelligible. Memory Scan will not start scanning. The RF control was set too low.
The wrong modulation mode was selected. 1 The SQL control was not set correctly. 2 Less than two memory channels were unlocked. 3 Less than two memory channels were programmed. 4 The SQL control was not set correctly.
Press [LSB/ USB/ AUTO], [CW/ FSK/ REV], or [FM/ AM/ NAR] to select the correct modulation mode. 1 Adjust the SQL controls to just eliminate background noise. 2 Unlock at least two memory channels. 3 Store data in at least two memory channels. 4 Adjust the SQL controls.
