Hello Ted,

If you mean the internal beat on 436.800 MHz no firmware updates address that.

The TS-2000 has several internal beats which are all mentioned on page 103 in the TS-2000 instruction manual.

The TS-2000 has been in production since 2000, the internal beats in the TS-2000 have been documented for the last 11 years. Kenwood was aware of the internal beats before the radio came to market outlining it in the instruction manual. Kenwood has tried to correct the situation but due the wide range multiple band capability of the TS-2000 was unable to change any internal beats.

Sincerely, Leo Fahmie KJ6HI DM03tw
