I've been having a ball with it! I've even gone on AM, fed it into my LK0500ZB. Went on 40mtrs. Had a riot! I got to South of Chicago. The static crashes were out of the world. Yep, I indeed had the PRE on. I wanted to HEAR! The built-in brain filter works just fine! I got it properly adjusted for AM use. Anytime folks want to go AM with even the TS-930SAT, or this one, you really have to dial in the carrier vs. audio gain. If you don't, it will sound crappy. These little wonders are fun to play with, and I for one have been enjoying it immensely!

I notice (see the above attribution) that you, too, shouted your callsign, Gene. As I shall eventually shout mine. Surely you can't be serious in complaining about the use of capital letters in a callsign! FWIW (no shout intended), I find people sometimes use all-capped words for emphasis. I prefer to put *asterisks* around them myself, but I figure it's a matter of personal preference.

Dont have a 2000 so dont know about the internet question. No, there are different models of the TS-2000 but all should all do SkyCommand if they have the latest firmware update. SkyCommand info: http://www.universal-radio.com/catalog/fm_txvrs/0710sky2.html Get a used TH-D7AG or a new TH-D72AG walkie talkie and do hf from your ht. You wont regret it. Prefer the TS-480HX for the hf skycommand operation, but it needs a dual bander connected to it for SkyCommand operation. I use a TMD-D700A, but you have to buy that used, or get a new TM-D710A. 73 from Bill - WD8ARZ On 8/11/2014 4:52 PM, John King wrote: > Bill, do you mean that you can use the Kenwood as a remote control and listen to the TS 2000 and transmit through the TS 2000 on SSB?????

The only place it was normal was with old teletype systems. Once we got into internet, or even the original Darpanet, (The original Department of Defense Research rendition of what we have now.), The computers had the ability to use upper *and* lower case. The only exception was the real Apple ][+. I'll add that the Korean clone of the Apple did add the ability to use lower case! That was the first *PC* I ever owned, back in the early '80s. Folks wouldn't believe it if they hadn't been around, but the Apple Modem at the time had two speeds. They were 300 Baud and 110 Baud. I'll probably get comments from old TELCO folks! You cannot possibly insult me! You certainly did not do so! I'm only 64, but am an old retired Soldier. I have *very* thick skin! Someone would have to get face to face with me while my wife is standing there and make very nasty comments. The result would be parts all over the floor/ground/or other surface! I've been married over 44 years now. She does not deserve such! So far, I have only had the "eyeball" treatment throughout our marriage. Let's just say that she was overly endowed in the upper section from Jr. High School, when we met and became sweethearts at all of 13, until around the '90s when she really need reduction surgery. So relax, sit back and enjoy a bit of friendship My Friend! I sincerely do mean that! I rarely end up with enemies. Personally, I'd normally use the entire word in lieu of "ah". However, I don't want things to go ballistic. The "List Police" would surely crawl all over it, and then this list would go through a period of implosion or explosion. I simply am *not* PC! I have a very abrasive personality!

The instantaneous current is quite another. ?When your rig goes from RX to TX, the 0.02uF capacitance across the ANT RELAY jack in these legacy amplifiers is discharged, producing a brief 6A current pulse. ?Eventually, the 1A-rated relay contacts inside the rig weld themselves closed. Richard Measures, AG6K also noticed this, and recommends adding a small resistance (less than 100 ohms) in series with the ANT RELAY jack. Decrease the resistance until the amplifier _just barely_ reliably goes into TX mode. ?A 1/4W resistor is fine. If you want the best setup, forget about relay drivers, rip out the S-L-O-W relay, and replace with the W7RY setup. ?Jim sells a bare PCB that, for the Heath SB220 and Kenwood TL922 amplifiers, gives you low voltage/current control of FAST and QUIET relays, as well as electronic bias regulation & switching.

I notice (see the above attribution) that you, too, shouted your callsign, Gene. As I shall eventually shout mine. Surely you can't be serious in complaining about the use of capital letters in a callsign! FWIW (no shout intended), I find people sometimes use all-capped words for emphasis. I prefer to put *asterisks* around them myself, but I figure it's a matter of personal preference.

Features include: 180 Alpha Memories Big Display DTMF Hand Mic. Auto Repeater Offset Guide Function Dimmer Time Out Timer Visual Scan Priority Scan Auto Simplex Checker DTSS Selective Call PL Decode/Encode Packet 1200/9600 DIN plug Hi/Med/Lo RF Out This particular unit is still in its original box. It functions 100%, and looks the same. As best I can tell, all of the little packages of screws, fuses, etc. are included. $250 Kenwood DFK-3 C, separation kit for the TM-G 707 above. I think it also works with the Kenwood TM-V 7 A. The separation cable is about 10 feet long. The kit includes a mounting bracket and hardware for the control head, plus a ferrite bead for RF elimination. This one is new, still in its box. $60 Kenwood TS-711, multimode 2 meter transceiver: This unit is an FM, SSB, and CW transceiver for 2 meters. It has 40 memory channels, and up to 25 Watts of output power, which is continuously variable (no Hi or Low switch, but a front panel control to continuously vary power). Of course it will scan, and do the things one expects in a 2 meter rig. It has a GASFET in the front end for one of the best receivers I have ever used. The 120 V AC power supply as well as 13 V DC, is built in. The case looks very similar to a TS-440 or TS-450 HF rig. This particular unit is very nice. I do not find any scratches, but it does show slight use. It has the optional TU-5 subaudible tone PL encoder in it, so it can be used with modern repeaters. Power cord and mic are included, with paper work, for $425. Kenwood TH-78 A Dual Band HT: The Kenwood TH-78A is a sophisticated dual-band HT. It has built in tone and paging functions, alphanumeric memory and message paging. Additionally it has dual-frequency receive capability (including VHF+VHF and UHF+UHF). There are 50 memory channels. The operator can choose from 8 different scan types. DTSS allows DTMF access to the transceiver. The receive range is 118-173.995 and 438-449.995 MHz. It has three RF output levels of about 5.0/0.5/0.02 watts. Features include: Two Line LCD Display 50 Memories Alphanumeric Memory Message Paging Cross Band Operation Backlit Keypad Multi Scan Function This one works fine, and looks fine. It includes the HT, rubber duck antenna, wall charger, and paper work. A PB-13 standard battery is included, that holds its charge fine. Also included are two PB-17 heavy duty packs that are in bad condition. $135 Kenwood MC-60 A Deluxe Desk Microphone: The Kenwood MC-60A has been a popular desk mic among Kenwood owners for many years. It has a communication type dynamic unidirectional moving coil type mic element and features UP-DOWN tuning (on compatible Kenwood transceivers) plus a built-in pre-amp. There is a switch for PTT (push to talk) and also a lock feature. The mic impedance may be set for 50K ohms or 500 ohms. The frequency response is 150 Hz to 10 kHz (-6dB) with the Preamp off and 200 Hz to 7 kHz (-6 dB) with the Preamp on. The heavy zinc die-cast base provides extra stability. The mic terminates to a standard 8 pin mic plug. The preamp requires two AA cells which are mounted through the bottom of the base. Please note that the earlier MC-60 (non-"A") version featured a 4 pin mic plug and did not have UP-DOWN tuning. This one works 100% and looks very close to new. With paper work for $100. Original Boxes for Kenwood VHF / UHF Rigs: The following original boxes for Kenwood equipment are available. They are all in very nice condition, and include the molded styrofoam inserts to protect the rig, plus the box itself.
