Hi All,
Q1: I have been thinking about getting a TS-2000X but I would appreciate any input regarding the performance of the 1.2 ghz module. I seem to recall that Kenwood had a problem with the earlier UT-20 modules but I don't remember if that was due to poor receiver performance. I would be hard pressed to find a transverter for $450 which is the current delta between the TS-2000 and TS-2000X. But, if the UT-20 can't hear then that's tossing the $450 down the crapper. (I am aware of the 436 birdie....)
Q2: I see $300 discounts on the TS-2000X from several sources. That could be due to either the poor economy or Kenwood clearing the inventory for the TS-2000 replacement - any rumors about the replacement?
tnx & 73,
