Hi Gang,

I hope you all had a SUPER contest. The K2QO rover team had a great time 
on the road.

What I'd like to learn is whether you have a Kenwood TS-2000 in your 
rover and how it worked. In particular, how did you tame interference 
between the T2K and other radios?  In my rover we use an IC706MkIIG for 
6 and 432 from the front positions, an FT100d for 2M and an FT-817 as 
the IF for 222 and 903-10G at the rear position. This is set up like 
this to take advantage of our one computer and operator idiosyncrasies.

I don't know how I'd skin the cat after swapping a 100D for the T2K, but 
getting a feel for how others are dealing with interference issues might 
help. Comments?

Here is the present setup:
