I was quite excited about the TS-2000 until I visited the Kenwood booth
while at Dayton this past March. My biggest issue with the TS-2000 is
that, although they call it "all-band, all mode," it is aimed at the US market
where 222-225MHz is a PRIMARY allocation; they did not build this band
into the radio (TX).
If you are a fan of 220, or ever thought of getting on 220, please
consider sending an email to: sales@... and let them know you
are interested in purchasing a 10M to 220MHz transverter.
Ten*Tec makes a couple transverters now, for 6M and 2M. They are
available as kits or fully assembled and work just great. I have built
and used both of them prior to buying an FT-847.
Ten*Tec has this project on the radar screen but I think a few hundred
emails from the ham community may help speed the project along.
