Hello sathams.
I've tested and found out that CTSS tone in a TS2000 in sat-mode can't by set.
Neither via a satprogram.
But how to configure the TS2000 to work SO67
Set sat mode off
Set split off
Set the main VFO for uplink 145.875MHz
Set to FMN mode
Push the CTSS button and CT must appear in de main VFO display.
Push sequelly FUNC and CTSS/SEL button and select 233.6kHz by turning the MULTI/CH knob
Push sequelly FUNC and CTSS/SEL button again to enter the CTSS tone.
Push the SUB button.
Push the CTRL button so the CTRL-indicator appear on the VFO B display.
Select the 70cm-band by using the + and - buttons.
Set to FMN mode
Press the 1MHz button en use the MULTI/CH knob to adjust.
Finaly use the tunerknob to finetune the frequentie 435.345MHz.
Make sure the step is 5kHz.
Turn down the MAIN AF.
Turn up the SUB AF.
Listen with a headset so there is no sing arround when you transmit.
Use less power as possible. ( EU?)
Cu on sats.

Hallo Danny, the TS-2000 sub tone function works also in satellite mode (I have a TS-2000). You need a firmware update. If I remember correctly it was the latest.
To steer the sub tone function via SatPC32 you need the following entry in the file SubTone.SQF (the file can be opened and edited from the menu "?", "Auxiliary Files"):
SO-67,233.6,$01,36
The decimal value 233.6 is used by the Icom radios and the Yaesu half duplex radios FT-817/857/897. The 2nd value (hex. 01) is the Code of the FT-847 for a 233.6 Hz sub tone. With the FT-736R it would be $20. The 3rd value dec. 36 is the code of the TS-2000 for a 233.6 Hz sub tone.
In Doppler.SQF I have the following data line for SO-67:
SO-67,435345,145875,FM,FMN,NOR,0,0
The frequencies are the latest I read on AMSAT-BB. The new program version 12.8a supports also FMN mode with the TS-2000.
