[Wswss] Is anyone using a Kenwood TS-2000X on 2m and above?

[Jim Lowman]

Hello everyone,

I'm strongly considering selling my Yaesu FT-847 toward the purchase of 
a Kenwood TS-2000X, for a few reasons.

First, the 100w on 2m and 50w on 432 MHz would be an improvement.
Also, with this model of the TS-2000, coverage of the 1.2 GHz band is 
built-in, so no messing with a transverter is necessary.
Finally, the FT-847 is getting long in the tooth, technologically speaking.

The FT-847 is essentially factory-new, minus the box.  I bought it back 
in 2001 after attending a satellite seminar, then never became 
interested in that aspect of amateur radio and never used it.

I'd appreciate anyone's opinion.  If I get more positives than 
negatives, the FT-847 will be for sale.

Thanks in advance an 73 de Jim - AD6CW
