Kenwood TS-2000 built in TNC???
Hello,Just purchased a Kenwood TS2000.Can anyone tell me if the built TNC can handle digital modes like Amtor and FT-8?I read in the Manuel that it is limited on packet operation.This what the Manuel says: This transceiver has a built-in TNC which allows you to use basic (not full) packet applications.It also says this:Since the built-in TNC has been designed to work with the Packet Cluster Tune {page 53} and Sky Commander II+ {page 83} functions, some of the enhanced TNC commands may not be available. Anyway I have a Rigblaster so not s problem but if the built in TNC can handle it,would make it easier.I use FT-8,RTTY and Echolink and will use SATPC32Thanks in advance.

The TNC cannot run FT8 or RTTY, those modes are sound modes and have nothing to do with packet radio (you need WSJT-X or MMTTY for those). You can do Amtor and you can connect directly to Winlink or some of the raw packet programs.

I believe that RTTY is built into the TS-2000, I could be wrong.

The TS-2000 can transmit FSK (RTTY) with outside keying, like the W3YY FSK/CW Interface or the Timewave Navigator.
