Hi Jerry,
Simple and cheap solution is a sound card interface for the TS-2000 and feed the audio into the computer.
My setup is the following IC-910HX with two ZLP Electronics soundcard interfaces (main/sub) which I use with SatPC32 rather than having to record each pass manually I wrote a little application called Pass Recorder https://www.2m0sql.com/pass-recorder/ that sits and listens to the DDE Interface from SatPC32 when a satellites going overhead it automatically saves the file as a wav into a folder of your choice.

GETTING STARTED:
I realize that many Amsat OPs are using handheld antennas and operating portable. However, I am planning a base station using my Kenwood TS-2000. I do not visualize myself operating portable primarily that I do not have needed radios etc. and my age. UGH!
I further realize that using some sort of recorder during a pass is almost a MUST HAVE. Besides the obvious for base station operations of a digital of an analog recorder; what other options would some of you seasoned OPs suggest.
I know that the TS-2000 does have a recorder accessory (DRU-3A) but finding one might be a challenge due to the age of the radio.
