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.

NOTICE TO THE USER

One or more of the following statements may be applicable for this equipment.

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 ff 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.

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.
- 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 transceiver's 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.
- 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.

- 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.

ANTENNA CONNECTION
An antenna system consists of an antenna, feed line, and ground. The transceiver can give excellent
results if the antenna system and its installation are given careful attention. Use a properly adjusted
50 antenna of good quality, a high-quality 50 coaxial cable, and first-quality connectors. All
connections must be clean and tight. After making the connections, match the impedance of the coaxial
cable and antenna so that the SWR is 1.5:1 or less. High SWR will cause the transmit output to drop
and may lead to radio frequency interference to consumer products such as stereo receivers and
televisions. You may even interfere with your own transceiver. Reports that your signal is
distorted could indicate that your antenna system is not efficiently radiating the transceiver's power.
Connect your primary HF/50 MHz antenna feed line to ANT 1 on the rear of the transceiver. If you are
using two HF/50 MHz antennas, connect the secondary antenna to ANT 2. Connect VHF (144 MHz),
UHF (430/440 MHz), and 1.2 GHz (TS-2000/TS-B2000 Optional) antennas to their respective antenna
connectors on the rear of the transceiver. Refer to page 13 for the location of the
antenna connectors.

Transmitting without connecting an antenna or other matched load may damage the transceiver. Always
connect the antenna to the transceiver before transmitting.

All fixed stations should be equipped with a lightning arrester to reduce the risk of fire, electric
shock, and transceiver damage.

Note: The transceiver's protection circuit will activate when the SWR
is greater than 2.5:1; however, do not rely on protection to compensate for a poorly functioning
antenna system.

GROUND CONNECTION

At the minimum, a good DC ground is required to prevent such dangers as electric shock. For superior
communications results, a good RF ground is required, against which the antenna system can
operate. Both of these conditions can be met by providing a good earth ground for your station. Bury
one or more ground rods or a large copper plate under the ground, then connect this to the transceiver
GND terminal. Use heavy gauge wire or a copper strap, cut as short as possible, for this connection.
Do not use a gas pipe, an electrical conduit, or a plastic water pipe as a ground.

LIGHTNING PROTECTION

Even in areas where lightning storms are less common, there are usually a limited number of
storms each year. Consider carefully how to protect your equipment and home from lightning. The
installation of a lightning arrestor is a start, but there is more that you can do. For example,
terminate your antenna system transmission lines at an entry panel that you install outside your home.
Ground this entry panel to a good outside ground, then connect the appropriate feed lines between the entry panel and
your transceiver. When a lightning storm occurs, disconnecting the feed lines from your transceiver will
ensure added protection.

1 INSTALLATION

DC POWER SUPPLY CONNECTION
In order to use this transceiver, you need a separate 13.8 V DC power supply that must be purchased
separately. Do not directly connect the transceiver to an AC outlet. Use the supplied DC power cable to
connect the transceiver to a regulated power supply. Do not substitute a cable with smaller gauge wires.
The current capacity of the power supply must be 20.5 A peak or more.

First, connect the DC power cable to the regulated DC power supply; the red lead to the positive terminal
and the black lead to the negative terminal. Next, connect the DC power cable to the transceiver's DC
power connector. Press the connectors firmly together until the locking tab clicks.

Note:

- Before connecting the DC power supply to the transceiver, be sure to switch OFF the DC power supply
and transceiver.
- Do not plug the DC power supply into an AC outlet until you make all connections.

UTILIZING THE BAIL (TS-2OOO(X) ONLY)

This transceiver is equipped with a bail so that you can angle the transceiver. The bail is located on
the bottom of the transceiver. Pull the bail forward to the limit as shown.

REPLACING FUSES

If a fuse blows, determine the cause then correct the problem. Only after the problem has been resolved,
replace the blown fuse with a new one with the specified ratings. If newly installed fuses continue to
blow, disconnect the power plug and contact a KENWOOD service station or your dealer for assistance.
Fuse Location TS-2000 (X)/TS-B000=Fuse current rating of 4A (for external antenna tuner)
Supplied DC power cable Has fuse current rating of 25A.

ACCESSORY CONNECTIONS
FRONT PANEL

- Headphones (PHONES)

Connect monaural or stereo headphones having a 4 to 32 impedance. This jack accepts a
6.3 mm (1/4") diameter, 2-conductor (mono) or 3-conductor (stereo) plug. After connecting the
headphones, you will hear no sound from the internal (or optional external) speaker.

Microphone (MIC)
Connect a microphone having an impedance between 250 and 600. Fully insert the connector,
then screw the retaining ring clockwise until secure. Compatible microphones include the
MC-43S, MC-47, MC-52DM, MC-60A, MC-80, MC-85, and MC-90. Do not use the MC-44, MC-44DM, MC-45, MC-45E,
MC-45DM, MC-45DME, and MC-53DM microphones.

REAR PANEL

- External Speakers (EXT.SP1/EXT.SP2)

This transceiver has 2 independent receivers. Thus, it can output 2 separate audio signals. As a
default, the transceiver mixes both audio signals internally and outputs them from the internal
speaker. On the rear panel of the transceiver, there are 2 external speaker jacks. If an external
speaker is connected to EXP.SP1, the internal speaker will mute. If the speaker is connected to
EXT.SP2, both the external speaker and the internal speaker will function. Use only external
speakers with an impedance of 4 to 8 (8 nominal). These jacks accept only 3.5 mm (1/8")
diameter, 2-conductor (mono) plugs.

WARNING: DO NOT connect headphones to this jack. The high audio output could damage your hearing.

Keys for CW (PADDLE and KEY) For CW operation using the internal electronic keyer, connect a keyer
paddle to the PADDLE jack. For CW operation without using the internal electronic keyer, connect a
straight key, semi-automatic key (bug), electronic keyer, or the CW keyed output from a Multimode
Communications Processor (MCP) to the KEY jack. The PADDLE and KEY jacks mate with a
6.3 mm (1/4") 3-conductor plug and a 3.5 mm (1/8") 2-conductor plug respectively. External
electronic keyers or MCPs must use positive keying to be compatible with this transceiver. Use
a shielded cable between the key and the transceiver.

Note: Due to the functionality of the internal electronic keyer, you may find it unnecessary
to connect both a paddle and another type of keyer unless you want to use a PC-based keyer for CW.
Read the "ELECTRONIC KEYER" section {page 42} to become familiar with the internal keyer.

2. PTT (Push-to-Talk) switch The transceiver is placed in transmit mode when this
non-locking switch is held down. Releasing the switch returns the transceiver to receive mode.

SWITCHING POWER ON/OFF

1. Switch the DC power supply ON.
2. Press and hold (POWER) briefly to switch the transceiver ON.
- Do not press the switch for more than approximately 2 seconds; the transceiver will
be switched OFF
- Upon power up, "HELLO" appears, followed by the selected frequency and other indicators.
3. To switch the transceiver OFF, press [ • ] (POWER) again.
4. Switch the DC power supply OFF
- You may skip step 3. After switching the transceiver ON, you can switch it OFF or ON
using only the power switch of the DC power supply. The transceiver stores the information
of the POWER switch position when the DC power source is switched OFE

ADJUSTING VOLUME

AUDIO FREQUENCY (AF) GAIN - Turn the MAIN AF control clockwise to increase the audio level and
counterclockwise to decrease the level.

Note: The position of the MAIN AF control does not affect the volume of beeps caused by pressing
keys nor the CW transmit sidetone. The audio level for Packet operation is also independent
of the MAIN AF control setting.

When the optional RC-2000 is installed, you can control the volume with the AF controls on both
the transceiver and the RC-2000. However, when turning the transceiver on, the volume settings of
the RC-2000 have priority.

RADIO FREQUENCY (RF) GAIN - Set the MAIN RF GAIN control fully clockwise. You may turn it
counterclockwise slightly when you have trouble hearing the desired signal because of
excessive atmospheric noise or interference from other stations. First take note of the peak S-meter
reading of the desired signal. Then turn the MAIN RF GAIN control counterclockwise until the S-meter
reads the peak value that you noted. Signals that are weaker than this level will be attenuated and
reception of the station will become easier.

Depending on the type and gain of your antenna, and the condition of the band, you may also prefer
leaving the MAIN RF GAIN control turned counterclockwise by the same amount rather than turning it fully
clockwise. When using FM mode, always set the MAIN RF GAIN control fully clockwise.

SELECTING VFO A OR VFO B

2 VFOs are available for controlling the frequency on the main transceiver. Each VFO, VFO A and VFO B,
works independently so that a different frequency and mode can be selected. When SPLIT operation is
activated, VFO A is used for reception and VFO B is used for transmission. The opposite combination is
also possible.

Press [A/B] to toggle between VFO A and VFO B.

"< A" or "< B" appears to indicate which VFO is selected.

SELECTING A BAND

Press [+] or [-] to select your desired band.

Holding down either key changes the bands continuously.

SELECTING A MODE

Press [LSB/USB/AUTO], [CW/FSK/REV], or [FM/AM/NAR]. To select the second mode on each
key, press the same key again. For example, each press of [LSB/USB/AUTO] toggles between LSB
and USB mode.

Press [FUNC], [LSB/USB/AUTO] to toggle the Auto Mode Selection for SSB. When it is active,
"AUTO" appears. If you change the frequency above or below 9.5 MHz, the transceiver
automatically switches modes; LSB for frequencies under 9.5 MHz and USB for frequencies equal to or
above 9.5 MHz (HF/50 MHz band). As for the 144 MHz, 430 (440) MHz, and 1.2 GHz bands, the
transceiver automatically changes the operating mode to FM. You can further add the frequency
table data to change the mode automatically {page 73}.

ADJUSTING SQUELCH

The purpose of the Squelch is to mute the speaker when no signals are present. With the squelch level
correctly set, you will hear sound only while actually receiving signals. The higher the selected squelch
level, the stronger the signals must be to receive. The appropriate squelch level depends on the
ambient RF noise conditions. Turn the MAIN SQL control, when there are no signals present, to select
the squelch level at which the background noise is just eliminated; the MAIN band LED will turn off.
Many ham operators prefer leaving the MAIN SQL control fully counterclockwise unless operating on a
full-carrier mode such as FM. The squelch level for the main transceiver is preset
at the factory to approximately 9 o'clock for FM and 11 o'clock for SSB and AM.

SELECTING A FREQUENCY

Turn the Tuning control clockwise or press Mic [UP] to increase the frequency. Turn the Tuning control
counterclockwise or press Mic [DWN] to decrease the frequency.

You may prefer directly entering a frequency using the numeric keypad if the desired frequency is far
from the current frequency. Press [ENT], then press the numeric keys as necessary. For details, see
"Direct Frequency Entry" {page 37}.

This transceiver provides many other methods for quickly selecting a frequency. For further information,
see "SELECTING YOUR FREQUENCY" {page 37}.

FRONT PANEL METER

The multi-function meter measures the parameters in the table below. The S-meter and FILTER scales
appear when the main transceiver is in receive mode, and the PWR meter appears when it is in transmit
mode. Each press of [5/METER] switches among the ALC, SWR, and COMP meters. Peak readings
for the S-meter, ALC, SWR, COMP, and PWR functions are held momentarily.

S=Strength of received signals

PWR=Transmit output power

ALC=Automatic level control status

SWR=Antenna system standing wave ratio

COMP=Speech compression level when using the Speech Processor {page 40}

FILTER= DSP filter width

Note: The COMP meter functions only when the Speech Processor is ON for SSB, FM, or AM mode.
The PWR indicator shows the output power level as a percentage on the 1.2 GHz band.
The SWR meter works only for ANT 1 andANT2 (HF/50 MHz band).
Peak Hold readings cannot be deactivated.

5 OPERATING BASICS

TRANSMITTING

For voice communications, press [SEND] or press and hold Mic [PTT], then speak into the microphone
in your normal tone of voice. When you finish speaking, press [SEND] again or release Mic [PTT].
To transmit CW, press [VOX/LEVEL] to switch the Break-in function ON, then close the key or keyer
paddle. Connect a key or keyer paddle {pages 3, 39}, then select CW mode.

For a detailed explanation on transmitting, see "BASIC COMMUNICATIONS", beginning on page 28.

Note: When using AM, CW, or FSK mode, you may adjust the carrier level In general adjust the level
so that the ALC meter reads within the limits of the ALC zone. For the adjustment procedures,
refer to the instructions for each mode in "TRANSMISSION" {pages 28, 29, 30}.

SELECTING TRANSMIT POWER

It is wise to select a lower transmit power if communication is still reliable. This lowers the risk of
interfering with others on the band. When operating from battery power, selecting a lower transmit power
allows you more operating time before a charge is necessary. This transceiver allows you to change the
transmit power even while transmitting.
1. Press [PWR/TX MONI] - The current transmit power appears.
2. Turn the MULTI/CH control counterclockwise to reduce the power or clockwise to increase the power.
The selectable range differs, depending on the current band and mode.
3. Press [PWR/TX MONI] to complete the setting.

Note: You may access Menu No. 23, "FINE TRANSMIT POWER TUNING", and select "ON" (press [+]) to
change the step size from 5 W to 1 W {page 79}.

MICROPHONE GAIN

The microphone gain must be adjusted when SSB or AM mode is used without speech processing
{pages 28, 29}.

1. Press [MIC/CAR] - The current microphone gain level appears. The default is 50; the range is
from 0 to 100.
2. Press [SEND] or press and hold Mic [PTT]. The MAIN band LED lights red.
3. SSB: While speaking into the microphone, adjust the MULTI/CH control so that the ALC meter
reflects your voice level, but does not exceed the ALC limit. AM: While speaking into the
microphone, adjust the MULTI/CH control so that the calibrated power meter slightly reflects
your voice level. CW, FSK: While transmitting, adjust the MULTI/CH control so that the ALC meter
reflects the carrier level within the ALC zone.
4. Press [SEND] or release Mic [PTT] - The MAIN band LED lights green or turns off,
depending on the MAIN SQL control setting.
5. Press [MIC/CAR] - For FM mode, access Menu No. 41 {page 28} and select "LOW", "MID", or "HIGH"
for the microphone gain.

Note: When using the optional MC-90 microphone in FM mode, select "HIGH" for the microphone gain.
The microphone sensitivity is low in FM mode. This may cause insufficient modulation. For other
microphones, select either "LOW" or "MID".

WHAT IS A MENU? Many functions on this transceiver are selected or configured via a software-
controlled Menu, rather than through the physical controls of the transceiver.
Once familiar with the Menu system, you will appreciate the versatility it offers. You can customize
the various timings, settings, and programming functions on this transceiver to meet your needs
without using many controls and switches.

MENU A/MENU B

This transceiver has two menus: Menu A and Menu B. These menus contain identical functions
and can be configured independently. The transceiver, therefore, allows you to switch between
two different environments quickly and easily. For example, you can configure Menu A for DXing and
contesting while Menu B is for the relaxed local ragchewing. By switching from Menu A to Menu B,
you can instantly change the Menu configuration and key assignment to suit your current operating style.
Or, two operators may share a single transceiver by dedicating one Menu to each operator. Both
operators can always enjoy their own configuration.

MENU ACCESS

1. Press [MENU] - The Menu No. and setting appear on the main dot-matrix display, and the explanation
of the menu appears on the sub dot-matrix display.
2. Press [A/B] to select Menu A or Menu B. - "A" or "B" appears, indicating which Menu is selected.
3. Turn the MULTI/CH control to select the desired Menu No. Each time you change the Menu No., a
different scrolling message appears on the sub dot-matrix display, describing the Menu No.
You will see "PUSH SUB" if there are sub-menus in the Menu No. Pressing [SUB] allows
you to select from among the sub-menus. Press [MAIN] to exit the sub-menu selection.
4. Press [+], [-], Mic [UP], or Mic [DWN] to select a parameter.
5. 5 Press [MENU] to exit Menu mode.

QUICK MENU

Because the number of functions this transceiver provides is extraordinary, there are numerous items in
each Menu. If you find accessing desired Menu Nos. to be too time consuming, use the Quick Menu to
create your own customized, abbreviated Menu. You can then add those Menu Nos. which you frequently
use, to the Quick Menu. Copying Menu Nos. to the Quick Menu has no effect on the Menu.

PROGRAMMING THE QUICK MENU

1 - Press [MENU].
