[Kenwood] Discussion With Kenwood Rep Regarding Future HF Rigs

[R. Crocker]

What complaints?
Other than its looks, I have not read many negative comments
on this reflector in over two years!
I have had my 2000 for two years plus and love it.
IMHO, it is still the best bang for the buck!!

"I have heard many, many complaints about the TS2000"


While I agree that it is a smart business decision, I
am saddened that Kenwood is, in effect, not playing in
the HF amateur market anymore.  However, it has been
evident that they have pulled back for quite some
time.  I have heard many, many complaints about the
TS2000, even from staunch Kenwood users, followed by
the discontinuation of the TS-870.  I own some older
Kenwood equipment, but of late I have become an Icom
fan and now own a 756ProIII.  I owned a Kenwood
TS-520S when I originally got into this hobby in the
mid-70's.  I shed a tear for what has happened.
