[CQ-Contest] KENWOOD TS-2000

[Scott Manthe]

Bob,
What kind of contesting are you talking about?

The TS-2000 isn't most people's first choice in a contest rig, although 
it's not nearly as poor a performer as most people claim. Especially 
those people who haven't used one. I have one and it's a decent radio. 
Not as good as my Mark V Field, but not bad. (By the way- to get an idea 
of how close to not bad the ts-2000 is, compare the close-in selectivity 
to the TS-2000 to that of the Mark V Field in the QST reviews. 
Instructive.)

If you want or need a rig that can do everything, then there is no 
better choice than the TS-2000. But, if you're a serious contester, 
you'd probably be better off looking at a different rig.

73,
Scott, N9AA
