Kenwood’s top-of-the-range TS-2000 All-Band All-Mode Transceiver exceeds all expectations and represents a breakthrough in HF performance. It’s ophisticated, solidly reliable and superbly suited for the new millennium.
The TS-2000 transceiver covers the HF/50/144/440 bands (plus 1200MHz with the optional module UT-20), SSB, CW, FSK, FM and AM modes, with output of up to 100W (430MHz: 50W; 1200MHz: 10W).
It is equipped with independent 144/440MHz sub-band reception (AM/FM modes only), thus simultaneous reception on two bands is possible - HF by V/U, V by V, U by U and V by U. A typical application might be to listen to 144/440MHz at the same time as using HF.
The transceiver is equipped with an IF DSP for for main-band use and AF DSP for sub-bands. TS-870 technology has been adopted for all-mode applications - VHF as well as HF. The combination of digital filters and IF DSP slope tuning results in enhanced versatility.
With digital IF AGC (controlling IF gain via DSP), it is possible to set the time constant separately for each mode. Also, the IF auto-notch function makes it easy to remove interference while automatically tracking with DSP-based adaptive filtering. Additionally, the AF stage beat canceller is capable of eliminating multiple beats at the same time; manual operation (manual notch for dealing with a single wave) is also permitted, which is convenient for CW use.
For noise reduction there is a choice of NR1 (line enhancer, ideal for SSB, and Kenwood’s original NR2 (SPAC), popular among CW operators. As with the TS-570, the operator can make use of CW auto-tuning.
For packet there is a built-in TNC which uses Kenwood’s own 2-chip TNC (1200/9600bps). This enables sophisticated data communications (excluding APRS) i.e. packet information to be displayed on the LCD. Moreover, this data can be used for automatic tuning, although it is not possible to connect with a node station using the internal modem. DX cluster information received on a sub-band can be used instantly for the main-band setting, thus giving the DX operator an advantage when tracking sought-after
stations.
Other features include, a built-in automatic antenna tuner (HF/50MHz) with preset memory control. Autotracking satellite functions (cross-mode compatible) using IF DSP.
