This manual introduces the features of the KENWOOD TS-2000(X)/ TS-B2000 transceiver, including dual Digital Signal Processing (DSP) units for IF and AF signal processing, enhanced interference reduction capabilities, and the ability to improve the quality of audio that you transmit without installing additional analog filters.
This manual covers the Kenwood TS-2000, TS-2000X and TS‑B2000 all‑mode multi‑band transceivers. It describes the dual DSP architecture, built‑in antenna tuner, sub‑receiver for VHF/UHF, and the integrated 9600/1200 bps TNC, along with detailed menu programming and operating procedures.
Safety and installation sections explain proper grounding, lightning protection, power‑supply requirements, and antenna connection guidelines. The document also includes troubleshooting, maintenance, and optional accessory information to help users keep the equipment running reliably.
| Frequency range | HF to 1.2 GHz |
|---|---|
| DSP units | Dual high‑speed Digital Signal Processing units |
| DSP filter | Adjustable filter frequencies |
| AGC | High speed Digital Automatic Gain Control |
| Sub‑receiver bands | 144 MHz and 430 MHz (FM/AM only) |
| Antenna tuner | Built‑in for HF/50 MHz band |
| Built‑in TNC | 9600/1200 bps packet interface |
Connect the primary HF/50 MHz antenna to ANT 1, ensure the SWR is 1.5:1 or less, and never transmit without an antenna attached.
All fixed stations should have a lightning arrester and a proper ground; do not use gas pipes or plastic water pipes as a ground.
