[Kenwood] TS2000 and Sky Command - Opinions Please

[Bill Roberts]

Kenwood Groups,

With the latest FCC rule changes being proposed, as well as how I do enjoy
operating from the back yard, I am thinking about buying that Kenwood TH-7DG
(or whatever it is) dual bander with the TNC built in in order to use the
Sky Command capabilities of my TS 2000.  What sort of experience have you
had with Sky Command?  Do you find it enjoyable to work HF in that way?  I
assume that I'll need to add some sort of 440 antenna outside the house;  Is
that correct?  I am not so much interested in being 10 miles away from my
shack and being able to use the more capable antennas and rigs.  In the back
yard or down at a neighbor's would be good enough for me!

Any feedback would be appreciated.

Thanks and best 73.

Bill / K8DXX
