Hi Folks, My first post to the BB website. I'm new to the Sat world and trying to find the suitable radio here. Can someone tell me if the TS 2000 will put DC voltage down the coax to trigger the pre-amp? I'm also considering an Icom 910H if I could find one. 73 and thank you Joe KT7E
No, It doesn't have that capability. Dee

The other thing to keep in mind with the TS-2000 is the birdie on 436.795 which happens to be the downlink for AO-27 and SO-50 which makes it more challenging to work those two birds. There are partial or full workarounds (e.g. extra receiver for 70cm). Other than that though I like my TS-2000 much better for sat work than my FT-736R for example which was able as well to drive a pre-amp via coax. Not sure if I would make that the main argument for a rig though vs. receive quality and other features.
FT-847s and IC-910Hs are hard to find, TS-2000 can be bought new.
