Kenwood TS-2000 Review

WLOG2000 demonstrates a comprehensive logging software solution tailored for amateur radio operators, shortwave listeners (SWLs), broadcast listeners (BCLs), and CB enthusiasts. It integrates essential utilities such as DX Cluster and DXtelnet for real-time DX spotting, along with PSK and PSK-Pbbs capabilities supporting both TNC and PC sound card interfaces. The software also features radio and rotor control, CDbook interface functionality, and a wide array of other logging and operational tools, making it a versatile station management platform for various radio activities. Franco, HB9OAB, developed WLOG2000 to provide a robust, free logging solution, with continuous updates available from the homepage. The software supports popular digital modes like RTTY, SSTV, KGSTV, EASYPAL, FT8, and FT4, alongside traditional CW operation. It offers rig control for major manufacturers including Kenwood, Yaesu, and Icom, facilitating seamless integration with existing shack setups. Users can track awards like DXCC, WAS, WAZ, and WAC, and manage QSLs, enhancing the practical application for contesters and DXers.

Must modern HF transceivers be treated as black box appliances? VE1FA doesn’t think so, and his experience with the Kenwood TS-850SAT bears him out.

JIM, N0UQZ TS-2000 review

This program is for downloading, uploading the memory channels and various settings on the TS-2000(X)/B2000. To write data to or read the data from the TS-2000(X)/B2000 memory, an RS-232C straight cable is required. Runs on Windows 98.

The Kenwood TS-2000 All-Mode Multiband Transceiver review

The NCDXF/IARU International Beacon Project operates a worldwide network of 18 high-frequency radio beacons, continuously transmitting on 14.100, 18.110, 21.150, 24.930, and 28.200 MHz. These beacons, initially launched in 1979 with a single station and expanded to the current 18-beacon system in 1995, provide reliable signals for both amateur and commercial users to assess current **ionospheric propagation** conditions. The system's design, construction, and operation are managed by volunteers, covering hardware and shipping costs. The resource details the evolution of the beacon network, including the transition from Kenwood TS-50s transmitters to Icom IC-7200 radios with a new controller design implemented in 2015. It explains how listening for these 100-watt signals, transmitted to vertical antennas, allows operators to determine band openings and optimal propagation paths globally. The content also references three QST articles providing historical context and technical specifics of the beacon project. Practical information includes methods for identifying transmitting beacons via a schedule or specialized software like FAROS and Skimmer, which integrates with the **Reverse Beacon Network** for automated monitoring.

Kenwood TS-2000 Remote Mobile Controller RC-2000 Review by M0MCX

A DIY Automatic Band Decoder (ABD) project, designed for dual-radio operation, addresses the common challenge of integrating band data with older transceivers lacking dedicated outputs. This particular build utilizes an AVR AT90S8515 microcontroller and a 16x2 Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) to provide band information, specifically targeting Kenwood rigs via a computer's LPT port. The design aims for cost-effectiveness while maintaining functionality, offering a solution for hams seeking to add automatic band switching capabilities to their station without significant expense. The project outlines the core components required, including the microcontroller, LCD, and an enclosure, noting that the Printed Circuit Board (PCB) fabrication and AVR programming might present challenges for some builders. It details the input requirements, such as a four-pin input and PTT for each radio, along with a 13.8V DC power supply. The decoder provides 2x6 outputs capable of sinking 500mA, suitable for controlling external devices like antenna switches or filters. Despite the original unit being damaged by a lightning strike in 2004, the author confirms its successful operation prior to the incident and mentions plans for a revised version. The resource includes a schematic in PDF format and images of the finished PCB and assembled unit, demonstrating the practical implementation of the design.
