High-duty Transmitter Section

This transceiver is the perfect
choice for contesting, mobiling
and FSK applications, deliver-
ing up to 100 (AM: 25) watts
on HF/50/144MHz bands.
Output is 50 (AM: 12.5) watts
on the 440MHz band, and 10
(AM: 2.5) watts on 1200MHz*.
But there’s more than just
power: the built-in TCXO ensures 
excellent frequency stability — ±0.5ppm
(except in FM mode).

*Minimum output is 5 watts for HF/50/144/440MHz
bands, 1 watt for 1200MHz.

CW Features

In addition to the new Auto Tune function, there is a full
range of CW features. The full/semi break-in switching and
delay time settings are fully adjustable. In semi break-in the
delay time between key release and active receive mode
can be set for between 50ms and 1000ms. When using
VOX operation the delay time can be set for between
150ms and 3000ms. Other CW features include pitch 
control (400-1000Hz), side tone monitor with 10-step 
volume setting, DSP-based rise time adjustment, and CW
reverse mode.

FSK Features

When operating in FSK mode, you can select shift frequen-
cies (170, 200, 425 and 850Hz) and switch both KEY polarity
and Hi/Low tones to suit your RTTY device. Additionally,
the FSK reverse function lets you match transmission methods
to the other party if necessary, for example changing the
BFO frequency from LSB (normal) to USB (reverse).

FM Features

As well as switchable Narrow/Wide deviation modes, the
TS-2000/2000X/B2000 has built-in CTCSS functionality
with 38 EIA-standard sub-tones settings plus 1750Hz tone
burst. Other features include DCS (104 codes), both cross-
band and fixed-band repeater operation, and 1200MHz
ALT.

Data Communication Features

Packet filter bandwidth is fully selectable to match packet
speed, and you can also switch ACC2 (PKD) input/output
levels. For PSK31 mode, the menu offers a 100Hz band-
width IF-DSP filter.

Expanded Power and Performance

DX Cluster (Packet Cluster) Tune

DX cluster information received on the sub band is not just
displayed on the LCD: it can also be used for instantly setting
up the main band frequency to
cluster information. Up to 10
items can be stored in memory.

Built-in 1200/9600bps TNC

The simple 2-chip TNC is compliant with the AX.25 protocol
for Sky Command and DX cluster tune.

Dual-Channel Watch

Provision of main and sub bands enables dual-channel
watch. This all-mode multibander can simultaneously
receive two frequencies, even on the same band, allowing
such combinations as HF+V/UHF, VHF+VHF, UHF+UHF and
VHF+UHF (the sub band is used exclusively for 144/440MHz
reception on FM/AM). This
means, for instance, that you
can pick up local information
on V/UHF while operating HF
on the main band.

Satellite Communications

Satellite operations are enhanced with the IF-DSP, 10 dedicat-
ed memory channels, Doppler effect frequency adjustment
(manual) and the ability to choose either normal or reverse
shift for the trace.
