B62-1221-10 (K) 09 08 07 06 05 04 03 02 01 00 ALL MODE MULTI-BAND TRANSCEIVER TS-2000 TS-2000X TS-B2000 INSTRUCTION MANUAL KENWOOD CORPORATION i THANK YOU THANK YOU Thank you for choosing this KENWOOD TS-2000(X)/ TS-B2000 transceiver. It has been developed by a team of engineers determined to continue the tradition of excellence and innovation in KENWOOD transceivers. This transceiver features dual Digital Signal Processing (DSP) units to process IF and AF signals. By taking maximum advantage of DSP technology, the TS-2000(X)/ TS-B2000 gives you enhanced interference reduction capabilities and improves the quality of audio that you transmit without installing additional analog filters. You will notice the differences when you fight QRM and QRN. As you learn how to use this transceiver, you will also find that KENWOOD is pursuing “user friendliness”. For example, each time you change the Menu No. in Menu mode, you will see scrolling messages on the display that tell you what you are selecting. Though user friendly, this transceiver is technically sophisticated and some features may be new to you. Consider this manual to be a personal tutorial from the designers. Allow the manual to guide you through the learning process now, then act as a reference in the coming years.

FCC WARNING This equipment generates or uses radio frequency energy. Changes or modifications to this equipment may cause harmful interference unless the modifications are expressly approved in the instruction manual. The user could lose the authority to operate this equipment if an unauthorized change or modification is made. INFORMATION TO THE DIGITAL DEVICE USER REQUIRED BY THE FCC This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can generate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that the interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. Connect the equipment to an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. Consult the dealer for technical assistance. iii PRECAUTIONS Please observe the following precautions to prevent fire, personal injury, and transceiver damage: Connect the transceiver only to a power source described in this manual or as marked on the transceiver itself. Route all power cables safely. Ensure the power cables can neither be stepped upon nor pinched by items placed near or against the cables. Pay particular attention to locations near AC receptacles, AC outlet strips, and points of entry to the transceiver. Take care not to drop objects or spill liquid into the transceiver through enclosure openings. Metal objects, such as hairpins or needles, inserted into the transceiver may contact voltages resulting in serious electrical shocks. Never permit children to insert any objects into the transceiver. Do not attempt to defeat methods used for grounding and electrical polarization in the transceiver, particularly involving the power input cable. Adequately ground all outdoor antennas for this transceiver using approved methods. Grounding helps protect against voltage surges caused by lightning. It also reduces the chance of a build-up of static charge. EXAMPLE OF ANTENNA GROUNDING ANTENNA LEAD IN WIRE GROUND CLAMP ELECTRIC SERVICE EQUIPMENT ANTENNA DISCHARGE UNIT GROUNDING CONDUCTORS GROUND CLAMPS POWER SERVICE GROUNDING ELECTRODE SYSTEM Minimum recommended distance for an outdoor antenna from power lines is one and one-half times the vertical height of the associated antenna support structure. This distance allows adequate clearance from the power lines if the support structure fails for any reason. Locate the transceiver so as not to interfere with its ventilation. Do not place books or other equipment on the transceiver that may impede the free movement of air. Allow a minimum of 4 inches (10 cm) between the rear of the transceiver and the wall or operating desk shelf. Do not use the transceiver near water or sources of moisture. For example, avoid use near a bathtub, sink, swimming pool, or in a damp basement or attic. The presence of an unusual odor or smoke is often a sign of trouble. Immediately turn the power OFF and remove the power cable. Contact a KENWOOD service station or your dealer for advice. Locate the transceiver away from heat sources such as a radiator, stove, amplifier or other devices that produce substantial amounts of heat. Do not use volatile solvents such as alcohol, paint thinner, gasoline or benzene to clean the cabinet of the transceiver. Use a clean cloth with warm water or a mild detergent. Disconnect the input power cable from the power source when the transceiver is not used for long periods of time. Remove the transceivers enclosure only to do accessory installations described in this manual or accessory manuals. Follow provided instructions carefully, to avoid electrical shocks. If unfamiliar with this type of work, seek assistance from an experienced individual, or have a professional technician do the task. Enlist the services of qualified personnel in the following cases: a) The power supply or plug is damaged. b) Objects have fallen or liquid has spilled into the transceiver. c) The transceiver has been exposed to rain. d) The transceiver is operating abnormally or performance has seriously degraded. e) The transceiver has been dropped or the enclosure damaged. iv CONTENTS QUICK MENU. 21 PROGRAMMING THE QUICK MENU . 21 USING THE QUICK MENU . 21 MENU CONFIGURATION . 22 ALPHABETICAL FUNCTION LIST. 26 CHAPTER 7BASIC COMMUNICATIONS SSB TRANSMISSION . 28 FM TRANSMISSION . 28 AM TRANSMISSION . 29 NARROW BANDWIDTH FOR FM . 29 NARROW BANDWIDTH FOR AM . 29 CW TRANSMISSION . 30 AUTO ZERO-BEAT . 30 TX SIDETONE/ RX PITCH FREQUENCY . 30 CHAPTER 8ENHANCED COMMUNICATIONS SPLIT-FREQUENCY OPERATION . 31 TF-SET (TRANSMIT FREQUENCY SET). 31 FM REPEATER OPERATION. 32 PROGRAMMING AN OFFSET . 32 Selecting an Offset Direction . 32 Selecting an Offset Frequency . 32 TRANSMITTING A TONE . 33 Activating the Tone Function . 33 Selecting a Tone Frequency. 33 Selecting Continuous or Burst. 33 Transmitting a 1750 Hz Tone . 33 AUTOMATIC REPEATER OFFSET . 34 REVERSE FUNCTION . 34 AUTOMATIC SIMPLEX CHECK (ASC). 34 TONE FREQ.
