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 andAF signals.
By taking maximum advantage of DSP technology,
the TS-2000(X) 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.

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.
• 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.

APPENDIX: COM CONNECTOR PROTOCOL
INDEX

1
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 Ω
antenna of good quality, a high-quality 50 Ωcoaxial
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
toANT 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
(144MHz), UHF (430/440 MHz), and 1.2 GHz
(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.
INSTALLATION
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.
Connect all accessories to the transceiver {pages 3, 60}.
Accessories include the following:
• Microphone
• Antenna Tuner
• CW Key
• Computer
• TNC/ Multimode Communications
Processor
|nstall and connect an antenna system
{page 1}.
Install a ground system that satisfies DC
and RF grounding requirements {page 2}.
Install lightning protection to protect the
antenna system, your personal safety,
and your property {page 2}.
Install and connect a DC power supply {page 2}.
• Headphones
• External Speaker
• RTTY Equipment
• Linear Amplifier

2
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
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 the 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.

ACCESSORY CONNECTIONS
FRONT PANEL
■Headphones (PHONES)
Connect monaural or stereo headphones having a
4 to 32 Ωimpedance. This jack accepts a
6.3mm (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 Ω. 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 transceier 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 Ω. These
jacks accept only 3.5 mm (1/8") diameter,
2-conductor (mono) plugs.
Do not connect headphones to this jack. The high audio output
of this jack 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.
