My favorite Kenwood, despite me not understanding why hams didn't like the styling. One has to remember the year this came out. Look at the dashboard of a Fiat Multipla. Everything was inspired by futuristic sets from outer space. The craft on films like Supernova (2000) had all these design elements. It was natural that this radio would be curved and follow that design language. I loved it. But of course, old hams seem set in their ways and hate progress and fashion and science!
I really gotta stop watching this video mate. Drooling on my Lap Top is not cool (not literally obviously LOL). There's one for sale 20ish minutes from where I am in Hospital right now but I can't go because of what's going on where I am. Think I've watched this video like a dozen times already. Dream radio without a doubt. Thanks for sharing. VK3 ZDK Kev
My ICOM 9100 Blows this POS radio out of the water. I owned a TS-2000 which I paid $800 for and I Hated it so badly I Sold it for just $550 and I’m so blessed that I found the 9100 with the D-STAR & both Roofing Filters installed. You could not give me another TS-2000 if I must keep and use it. Compare features between the two and put them side by side and you will know the Kenwood is DEAF on all bands and it can’t stand being on the desk with the Quality radio that is the Champion of Shack in a Box base radios. YAESU = Yet Another Excuse Simply Useless.
