[Kenwood] TS570D to TS2000

[Gary Danaher]

I'm considering changing from a 570D original version to a 2000. Aside 
from additional antennas to access vhf and uhf, will I have any problems 
with other wiring, such as my AL80A? I might or might not want to 
continue using my Kam Plus as well since my software is Kantronics 
specific. Would this be just a matter of pulling out the old and 
plugging in the new, or will the wiring setup take up a good Saturday 
afternoon and require me to burn some solder?

Finally, I've heard good and bad about the TS2000 output--low wattage on 
SSB, hard to hear weak vhf stations without a preamp.  I'd appreciate 
any comments form guys who have used these radios. I'm used Kenwoods for 
a long time, but I'm not married to them.
