Kenwood’s new all-mode multibander  
breaks new ground in more ways than one.  
This TS-B2000 black box version offers the  
same functionality and performance as the  
TS-2000 — minus the controls — so you can  
carry it in the trunk of your car, or set up on  
the desk with your personal computer.

A marvel of electronic engineering: Kenwood’s  
stylish new all-mode multibander is packed  
with top-end features yet compact enough  
to use at home, in your car, or on a  
DX’pedition. With its 3D front panel,  
featuring backlit keys and large  
amber display, its appear-  
ance is as distinctive as  
its performance.

All-Mode, Multiband, Engineered for Excellence  
Kenwood’s new TS-2000/2000X/B2000 all-mode multibander may be  
compact, but it’s equipped with all the features you would expect to  
find in a top-of-the-line rig.

on sound quality. In AM  
mode, the high-cut fre-  
quency can reduce inter-  
ference by controlling the  
IF pass bandwidth —  
useful for receiving short-  
wave broadcasts. In CW  
mode, the WIDTH func-  
tion is supplemented by  
center frequency shift,  
allowing adjacent signal  
interference to be tuned  
out. The WIDTH function  
also provides noise  
The TS-2000/2000X/B2000 is serious about digital signal  
processing. Kenwood’s advanced digital technology  
converts analog waveforms into digital data in real-time,  
enabling such digital processing as IF filtering, slope  
tune, auto notch and AGC. IF-stage DSP on main-band  
transmit and receive — including V/UHF bands —  
allows the greatest range of control and unprecedented  
performance.

DSP, independent control of high-cut and low-cut frequencies  
(12 steps each) provides slope tune capability in FM as well.  
Digital Filtering  
There is absolutely no  
need to purchase optional  
filters: digital IF filters are  
available for each mode  
(FM: digital AF filter),  
offering performance  
superior to anything  
IF Auto Notch  
Since it is working with a  
digital signal, IF Auto  
Notch (main band, SSB  
mode) can provide  
extremely sharp filtering  
of carrier frequencies  
from broadcast and con-  
tinuous beat sources. The interfering beat is removed far  
more accurately than in conventional analog systems, and  
Auto Notch will even track changes in the beat signal  
(tracking speed can be varied in 5 steps).

Noise Reduction  
AF Digital Signal Processing  
There are 2 types of noise reduction: LEM (NR1) and SPAC  
(NR2). LEM (Line Enhancer Method) — available for all  
modes on the main band and FM/AM on the sub band —  
automatically forms a filter shape around the target signal  
for a custom, dynamic noise reduction capability. The  
degree of enhancement can also be set manually for main-  
band use. The SPAC (Speech  
DSP is also executed at the AF stage, offering Beat  
Cancel and CW Auto Tune functions. It also enables you  
to achieve remarkable noise reduction and apply custom  
enhancements to your transmitted voice.

(SSB/AM), and speech processor (SSB/FM/AM). The TX/RX  
equalizer offers 4 frequency response settings on SSB, FM  
and AM: high boost for improved clarity, formant pass to  
minimize extraneous sounds, bass boost for stronger  
sound, and conventional mode for an ‘analog’ sound. On  
SSB and AM transmit you can choose between 6 TX filter  
bandwidth settings according to your microphone and  
operating requirements. The speech processor works  
across three bands (SSB, FM and AM) for high  
compression and minimal distortion.

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.  
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.  
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  
Satellite Communications  
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.  
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.

Enhanced Operating Ease  
All of the power and functions of the TS-2000/2000X/  
B2000 can be accessed through the menu-driven display  
interface on the front panel. You may also activate the Quick  
Menu feature to access only your most commonly-used  
functions.  
Automatic Antenna Tuner  
The built-in antenna tuner — which also operates when the  
radio is in receive mode — covers amateur bands from 1.9  
to 50MHz, with  
rapid tuning lock  
when using presets.

300 Memory Channels  
Key operation announcement with optional VS-3 voice  
synthesizer (option)  
This transceiver provides a bank of 300 memories (plus 1  
call channel for each band), with 290 assignable by name  
and 10 available for programmable scan. The scroll func-  
tion lets you browse memory contents, memory channel  
copy sends the contents of one channel to another, lock-out  
memory changes the scan map to exclude certain channels,  
and memory shift alters the frequency stored in a channel.  
In addition, there are 10 ‘quick’ memories to capture a cur-  
rent operation on-the-fly — ideal for contest operation.

A full range of scan functions is provided, including MHz  
scan, memory scan, and call scan. Group scan mode covers  
all 300 memory channels in groups of 10, and programma-  
ble band scan will search a frequency spread between two  
VFO settings (the scan-hold function stops the scanning for  
5 seconds). A new feature is programmable slow scan,  
which will automatically slow down to check a frequency  
range you’re interested in. As well as varying scan speed,  
you can choose either time-operated (TO) or carrier-operat-  
ed (CO) busy-stop-resume.  
Kenwood Skycommand System II Plus  
The TS-2000/2000X/B2000 is fully  
equipped for Kenwood’s Skycommand  
System II Plus. With just a handheld  
transceiver you can relax in your garden  
while DX’ing from your shack. Alter-  
natively, you could enjoy HF access via  
the multibander in your parked car while  
taking in a baseball game.  
Kenwood Skycommand System II Plus is  
the most sophisticated version yet devel-  
oped, enabling full-duplex operation with  
access to such HF functions as RIT/XIT,  
mode switching (USB, FM, etc.), split-  
frequency operations on/off, and memory  
shift. Control is effected via simple TNC,  
compatible with the AX.25 protocol. In  
addition, if a second TS-2000/2000X/  
B2000 unit is used as the Commander,  
you have control over noise reduction,  
noise blanker on/off and antenna  
switching among other functions.  
Conventionally two extra transceivers  
are required for KSS operation — a  
Commander and a Transporter — but the  
TS-2000/2000X/B2000 has Transporter  
functions built in. This means you can  
operate it remotely with a single mobile  
or handheld unit, such as the TH-D7A or  
TM-D700A, transmitting control signals to  
the Transporter, which also relays your  
voice to the HF radio. In return, HF  
signals are transmitted back to the  
Commander. This system allows you to  
transmit and receive HF signals, set fre-  
quencies (with LCD confirmation), switch  
memory channels, and much more — all  
remotely.
