DX Cluster (Packet Cluster) Tune

DX cluster information received on the sub band is not just displayed on the LCD: it can also be used for instantly setting up the main band frequency to

cluster information. Up to 10 items can be stored in memory.

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.

But there’s more than just Elapsed time [min]

power: the built-in TCXO ensures excellent frequency stability — ±0.5ppm (except in FM mode).

*Minimum output is 5 watts for HF/50/144/440MHz bands, 1 watt for 1200MHz.

CW Features

In addition to the new Auto Tune function, there is a full range of CW features. The full/semi break-in switching and delay time settings are fully adjustable. In semi break-in the delay time between key release and active receive mode can be set for between 50ms and 1000ms. When using 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 reverse mode.

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).

Satellite Communications FM Features

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.

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.

Data Communication Features

Packet filter bandwidth is fully selectable to match packet speed, and you can also switch ACC2 (PKD) input/output levels. For PSK31 mode, the menu offers a 100Hz band- width IF-DSP filter.
