I recently purchased the TS2000.

About as "Plug-and-Play" as you can get.

Run a straight-through DB9 Female to DB9 Male cable between the rig and 
your PC. Go grab "Ham Radio Deluxe" and tell it that you're talking to 
the rig at 9600/8N1 on the appropriate COM port.  Couldn't be easier.

Now, is it a barnstormer on 6?  Don't know, yet.  Seems to work okay, 
but I need better antennae to tell.  [grin]
