Guess if this is a real birdie (internal beat frequency) I am up the creek, Since in the radio design cannot be changed. I heard Kenwood might be releasing a new satellite rig at Dayton next year. Any rumors out there? So think I answered my question and the TS-2000 cannot be used for SO-50 TNX AGN 73 Mike K4MIA
Mike,
I don't have a TS-2k, but it does have a separate RX input. At least one person mentioned using it with a separate RX converter on SO-50 which gets around the internal birdie. Probably not a cost effective solution unless you happen to have one laying around.
As for a new Kenwood, I have been asking them that for years, literally. The answer in the past has always been that it is under active consideration. Real Soon Now.

The cheapest way to work SO50 with the TS2000 is to get a $25 Baofeng, and a coax switch, and use the Baofeng for receive on SO50 passes. That is what I have been doing.

It's a birdie on all of the 2000's I think... But that is an FM bird, so I just listen to that downlink on a different FM mobile radio Bob
