Drew,

Please transmit this email to all ETS members...

I spoke to Victor KC2NBC this past weekend and he informed me that Don 
K2DSV has the Club’s Kenwood TS-2000 at his home shack. Please remind 
Don to bring the rig to this Friday’s meeting so I can install the 
updated firmware into the rig. It shouldn’t take more than 45 minutes to 
complete.

I just need the rig. I will bring a power supply, mic, dummy load, 
laptop w/software, serial cable, and necessary tools to complete the 
upgrade, and if anyone is interested in seeing the rig operate via 
Kenwood’s ARCP-2000 software control they can check that out too.

It’s too bad that ETS does not have a place open to members to setup the 
rig for base utilization. So in lieu of that, I suggest that ETS members 
consider (for discussion at the meeting) the possibility of packaging 
the rig with a power supply, portable antennas, psk, etc., for quick 
portable deployment of ETS Club events, such as the picnic, field day, 
and possible emergencies.
