TS-B2000 —
Cutting-edge Technology
in a Streamlined Package
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-

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.

mode, the high-cut fre-

ference by controlling the

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.
