THANK YOU
Thank you for choosing this KENWOOD TS-2000(X)/
TS-B2000 transceiver. It has been developed by a
team of engineers determined to continue the
tradition of excellence and innovation in KENWOOD
transceivers.
This transceiver features dual Digital Signal
Processing (DSP) units to process IF and AF signals.
By taking maximum advantage of DSP technology,
the TS-2000(X)/ TS-B2000 gives you enhanced
interference reduction capabilities and improves the
quality of audio that you transmit without installing
additional analog filters. You will notice the
differences when you fight QRM and QRN. As you
learn how to use this transceiver, you will also find
that KENWOOD is pursuing “user friendliness”. For
example, each time you change the Menu No. in
Menu mode, you will see scrolling messages on the
display that tell you what you are selecting.
Though user friendly, this transceiver is technically
sophisticated and some features may be new to you.
Consider this manual to be a personal tutorial from
the designers. Allow the manual to guide you through
the learning process now, then act as a reference in
the coming years.

FCC WARNING
This equipment generates or uses radio frequency energy.
Changes or modifications to this equipment may cause harmful
interference unless the modifications are expressly approved in
the instruction manual. The user could lose the authority to
operate this equipment if an unauthorized change or
modification is made.
INFORMATION TO THE DIGITAL DEVICE USER REQUIRED
BY THE FCC
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the
limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the
FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference in a residential
installation.
This equipment generates, uses and can generate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance
with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. However, there is no guarantee that the
interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this
equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or
television reception, which can be determined by turning the
equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct
the interference by one or more of the following measures:
•
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
•
Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
•
Connect the equipment to an outlet on a circuit different from

PRECAUTIONS
Please observe the following precautions to prevent
fire, personal injury, and transceiver damage:
• Connect the transceiver only to a power source
described in this manual or as marked on the
transceiver itself.
• Route all power cables safely. Ensure the power
cables can neither be stepped upon nor pinched
by items placed near or against the cables. Pay
particular attention to locations near AC
receptacles, AC outlet strips, and points of entry to
the transceiver.
• Take care not to drop objects or spill liquid into the
transceiver through enclosure openings. Metal
objects, such as hairpins or needles, inserted into
the transceiver may contact voltages resulting in
serious electrical shocks. Never permit children to
insert any objects into the transceiver.
• Do not attempt to defeat methods used for
grounding and electrical polarization in the
transceiver, particularly involving the power input
cable.
• Adequately ground all outdoor antennas for this
transceiver using approved methods. Grounding
helps protect against voltage surges caused by
lightning. It also reduces the chance of a build-up
of static charge.
EXAMPLE OF ANTENNA GROUNDING
• Locate the transceiver away from heat sources
such as a radiator, stove, amplifier or other
devices that produce substantial amounts of heat.
• Do not use volatile solvents such as alcohol, paint
thinner, gasoline or benzene to clean the cabinet
of the transceiver. Use a clean cloth with warm
water or a mild detergent.
• Disconnect the input power cable from the power
source when the transceiver is not used for long
periods of time.
• Remove the transceiver’s enclosure only to do
accessory installations described in this manual or
accessory manuals. Follow provided instructions
carefully, to avoid electrical shocks. If unfamiliar
with this type of work, seek assistance from an
experienced individual, or have a professional
technician do the task.
• Enlist the services of qualified personnel in the
following cases:
a) The power supply or plug is damaged.
b) Objects have fallen or liquid has spilled into the
transceiver.
c) The transceiver has been exposed to rain.
d) The transceiver is operating abnormally or
performance has seriously degraded.
e) The transceiver has been dropped or the
enclosure damaged.

• Minimum recommended distance for an outdoor
antenna from power lines is one and one-half
times the vertical height of the associated antenna
support structure. This distance allows adequate
clearance from the power lines if the support
structure fails for any reason.
• Locate the transceiver so as not to interfere with
its ventilation. Do not place books or other
equipment on the transceiver that may impede the
free movement of air. Allow a minimum of
4 inches (10 cm) between the rear of the
transceiver and the wall or operating desk shelf.
• Do not use the transceiver near water or sources
of moisture. For example, avoid use near a
bathtub, sink, swimming pool, or in a damp
basement or attic.
• The presence of an unusual odor or smoke is
often a sign of trouble. Immediately turn the
power OFF and remove the power cable. Contact
a KENWOOD service station or your dealer for
advice.

INSTALLATION
Install and connect an antenna system
{page 1}.
Install a ground system that satisfies DC
and RF grounding requirements {page 1}.
Install lightning protection to protect the
antenna system, your personal safety,
and your property {page 1}.
ANTENNA CONNECTION
An antenna system consists of an antenna, feed line,
and ground. The transceiver can give excellent
results if the antenna system and its installation are
given careful attention. Use a properly adjusted 50Ω
antenna of good quality, a high-quality 50Ω coaxial
cable, and first-quality connectors. All connections
must be clean and tight.
After making the connections, match the impedance
of the coaxial cable and antenna so that the SWR is
1.5:1 or less. High SWR will cause the transmit
output to drop and may lead to radio frequency
interference to consumer products such as stereo
receivers and televisions. You may even interfere
with your own transceiver. Reports that your signal is
distorted could indicate that your antenna system is
not efficiently radiating the transceiver’s power.
Connect your primary HF/ 50 MHz antenna feed line
to ANT 1 on the rear of the transceiver. If you are
using two HF/ 50 MHz antennas, connect the
secondary antenna to ANT 2. Connect VHF
(144 MHz), UHF (430/ 440 MHz), and 1.2 GHz
(TS-2000/ TS-B2000 Optional) antennas to their
respective antenna connectors on the rear of the
transceiver. Refer to page 13 for the location of the
antenna connectors.
◆
Transmitting without connecting an antenna or other
matched load may damage the transceiver. Always
connect the antenna to the transceiver before transmitting.
◆
All fixed stations should be equipped with a lightning
arrester to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and
transceiver damage.
Install and connect a DC power supply {page 2}.
Connect all accessories to the transceiver {pages 3, 94}.
Accessories include the following:
• Microphone
• Antenna Tuner
• CW Key
• Computer
• TNC/ Multimode
Communications Processor
• Headphones
• External Speaker
• RTTY Equipment
• Linear Amplifier
• Remote Panel
GROUND CONNECTION
At the minimum, a good DC ground is required to
prevent such dangers as electric shock. For superior
communications results, a good RF ground is
required, against which the antenna system can
operate. Both of these conditions can be met by
providing a good earth ground for your station. Bury
one or more ground rods or a large copper plate
under the ground, then connect this to the transceiver
GND terminal. Use heavy gauge wire or a copper
strap, cut as short as possible, for this connection.
Do not use a gas pipe, an electrical conduit, or a
plastic water pipe as a ground.
LIGHTNING PROTECTION
Even in areas where lightning storms are less
common, there are usually a limited number of
storms each year. Consider carefully how to protect
your equipment and home from lightning. The
installation of a lightning arrestor is a start, but there
is more that you can do. For example, terminate your
antenna system transmission lines at an entry panel
that you install outside your home. Ground this entry
panel to a good outside ground, then connect the
appropriate feed lines between the entry panel and
your transceiver. When a lightning storm occurs,
disconnecting the feed lines from your transceiver will
ensure added protection.
Note: The transceiver’s protection circuit will activate when the SWR
is greater than 2.5:1; however, do not rely on protection to
compensate for a poorly functioning antenna system.

DC POWER SUPPLY CONNECTION
In order to use this transceiver, you need a separate
13.8 V DC power supply that must be purchased
separately. Do not directly connect the transceiver to
an AC outlet. Use the supplied DC power cable to
connect the transceiver to a regulated power supply.
Do not substitute a cable with smaller gauge wires.
The current capacity of the power supply must be
20.5 A peak or more.
Fuse holders
(Fuse 25 A)
RedBlack
TS-2000/ TS-2000X
TS-B2000
First, connect the DC power cable to the regulated
DC power supply; the red lead to the positive terminal
and the black lead to the negative terminal. Next,
connect the DC power cable to the transceiver’s DC
power connector. Press the connectors firmly
together until the locking tab clicks.
Note:
◆
Before connecting the DC power supply to the transceiver, be
sure to switch OFF the DC power supply and transceiver .
◆
Do not plug the DC power supply into an AC outlet until you
make all connections.
DC 13.8 V
REPLACING FUSES
If a fuse blows, determine the cause then correct the
problem. Only after the problem has been resolved,
replace the blown fuse with a new one with the
specified ratings. If newly installed fuses continue to
blow, disconnect the power plug and contact a
KENWOOD service station or your dealer for
assistance.
Fuse (4 A)
UTILIZING THE BAIL (TS-2000(X) ONLY)
This transceiver is equipped with a bail so that you
can angle the transceiver. The bail is located on the
bottom of the transceiver. Pull the bail forward to the
limit as shown.

ACCESSORY CONNECTIONS
FRONT PANEL
■ Headphones (PHONES)
1 INSTALLATION
Connect monaural or stereo headphones having a
4 to 32Ω impedance. This jack accepts a
6.3 mm (1/4") diameter, 2-conductor (mono) or
3-conductor (stereo) plug. After connecting the
headphones, you will hear no sound from the
internal (or optional external) speaker.
■ Microphone (MIC)
Connect a microphone having an impedance
between 250 and 600Ω. Fully insert the
connector, then screw the retaining ring clockwise
until secure. Compatible microphones include the
MC-43S, MC-47, MC-52DM, MC-60A, MC-80,
MC-85, and MC-90. Do not use the MC-44,
MC-44DM, MC-45, MC-45E, MC-45DM,
MC-45DME, or MC-53DM microphones.
REAR PANEL
■ External Speakers (EXT.SP1/ EXT.SP2)
This transceiver has 2 independent receivers.
Thus, it can output 2 separate audio signals. As a
default, the transceiver mixes both audio signals
internally and outputs them from the internal
speaker. On the rear panel of the transceiver,
there are 2 external speaker jacks. If an external
speaker is connected to EXP.SP1, the internal
speaker will mute. If the speaker is connected to
EXT.SP2, both the external speaker and the
internal speaker will function. Use only external
speakers with an impedance of 4 to 8Ω (8Ω
nominal). These jacks accept only 3.5 mm (1/8")
diameter, 2-conductor (mono) plugs.

Do not connect headphones to this jack. The high audio output
of this jack could damage your hearing.
■ Keys for CW (PADDLE and KEY)
For CW operation using the internal electronic
keyer, connect a keyer paddle to the PADDLE
jack. For CW operation without using the internal
electronic keyer, connect a straight key,
semi-automatic key (bug), electronic keyer, or the
CW keyed output from a Multimode
Communications Processor (MCP) to the KEY
jack. The PADDLE and KEY jacks mate with a
6.3 mm (1/4") 3-conductor plug and a 3.5 mm
(1/8") 2-conductor plug respectively. External
electronic keyers or MCPs must use positive
keying to be compatible with this transceiver. Use
a shielded cable between the key and the
transceiver.
Note: Due to the functionality of the internal electronic keyer, you
may find it unnecessary to connect both a paddle and another
type of keyer unless you want to use a PC-based keyer for CW.
Read the “ELECTRONIC KEYER” section {page 42} to become
familiar with the internal keyer.

RADIO FREQUENCY (RF) GAIN
Set the MAIN RF GAIN control fully clockwise. You
may turn it counterclockwise slightly when you have
trouble hearing the desired signal because of
excessive atmospheric noise or interference from
other stations. First take note of the peak S-meter
reading of the desired signal. Then turn the MAIN RF
GAIN control counterclockwise until the S-meter
reads the peak value that you noted. Signals that are
weaker than this level will be attenuated and
reception of the station will become easier.

Depending on the type and gain of your antenna, and
the condition of the band, you may also prefer leaving
the MAIN RF GAIN control turned counterclockwise
by the same amount rather than turning it fully
clockwise. When using FM mode, always set the
MAIN RF GAIN control fully clockwise.
SELECTING VFO A OR VFO B
2 VFOs are available for controlling the frequency on
the main transceiver. Each VFO, VFO A and VFO B,
works independently so that a different frequency and
mode can be selected. When SPLIT operation is
activated, VFO A is used for reception and VFO B is
used for transmission. The opposite combination is
also possible.
Press [A/B] to toggle between VFO A and VFO B.
•“tA” or “tB” appears to indicate which VFO is
selected.

ADJUSTING SQUELCH
The purpose of the Squelch is to mute the speaker
when no signals are present. With the squelch level
correctly set, you will hear sound only while actually
receiving signals. The higher the selected squelch
level, the stronger the signals must be to receive.
The appropriate squelch level depends on the
ambient RF noise conditions.
Turn the MAIN SQL control, when there are no
signals present, to select the squelch level at which
the background noise is just eliminated; the MAIN
band LED will turn off. Many ham operators prefer
leaving the MAIN SQL control fully counterclockwise
unless operating on a full-carrier mode such as FM.
The squelch level for the main transceiver is preset
at the factory to approximately 9 o’clock for FM and
11 o’clock for SSB and AM.

This transceiver provides many other methods for
quickly selecting a frequency. For further information,
see “SELECTING YOUR FREQUENCY” {page 37}.
FRONT PANEL METER
The multi-function meter measures the parameters in
the table below. The S-meter and FILTER scales
appear when the main transceiver is in receive mode,
and the PWR meter appears when it is in transmit
mode. Each press of [5/ METER] switches among
the ALC, SWR, and COMP meters. Peak readings
for the S-meter, ALC, SWR, COMP, and PWR
functions are held momentarily.
Note:
◆
The COMP meter functions only when the Speech Processor is
ON for SSB, FM, or AM mode.
◆
The PWR indicator shows the output power level as a
percentage on the 1.2 GHz band.
◆
The SWR meter works only for ANT 1 and ANT 2 (HF/ 50 MHz
band).
◆
Peak Hold readings cannot be deactivated.

For a detailed explanation on transmitting, see
“BASIC COMMUNICATIONS”, beginning on page 28.
Note: When using AM, CW, or FSK mode, you may adjust the
carrier level. In general, adjust the level so that the ALC meter reads
within the limits of the ALC zone. For the adjustment procedures,
refer to the instructions for each mode in “TRANSMISSION”
{pages 28, 29, 30}.
SELECTING TRANSMIT POWER
It is wise to select a lower transmit power if
communication is still reliable. This lowers the risk of
interfering with others on the band. When operating
from battery power, selecting a lower transmit power
allows you more operating time before a charge is
necessary. This transceiver allows you to change the
transmit power even while transmitting.

MENU SETUP
WHAT IS A MENU?
Many functions on this transceiver are selected or
configured via a software-controlled Menu, rather
than through the physical controls of the transceiver.
Once familiar with the Menu system, you will
appreciate the versatility it offers. You can customize
the various timings, settings, and programming
functions on this transceiver to meet your needs
without using many controls and switches.
MENU A/ MENU B
This transceiver has two menus: Menu A and
Menu B. These menus contain identical functions
and can be configured independently. The
transceiver, therefore, allows you to switch between
two different environments quickly and easily. For
example, you can configure Menu A for DXing and
contesting while Menu B is for the relaxed local
ragchewing. By switching from Menu A to Menu B,
you can instantly change the Menu configuration and
key assignment to suit your current operating style.
Or, two operators may share a single transceiver by
dedicating one Menu to each operator. Both
operators can always enjoy their own configuration.
QUICK MENU
Because the number of functions this transceiver
provides is extraordinary, there are numerous items in
each Menu. If you find accessing desired Menu Nos.
to be too time consuming, use the Quick Menu to
create your own customized, abbreviated Menu. You
can then add those Menu Nos. which you frequently
use, to the Quick Menu. Copying Menu Nos. to the
Quick Menu has no effect on the Menu.
PROGRAMMING THE QUICK MENU
1 Press [MENU].
2 Turn the MULTI/ CH control to select the desired
Menu No.
3 Press QUICK MEMO [M.IN].
• A star appears, indicating that the Menu item
has been added to the Quick Menu.
MENU ACCESS
1 Press [MENU].
• The Menu No. and setting appear on the main
dot-matrix display, and the explanation of the
menu appears on the sub dot-matrix display.
2 Press [A/B] to select Menu A or Menu B.
• “A” or “B” appears, indicating which Menu is
selected.
3 Turn the MULTI/ CH control to select the desired
Menu No.
• Each time you change the Menu No.,
a different scrolling message appears on the
sub dot-matrix display, describing the Menu
No.
• You will see “PUSH SUB” if there are submenus in the Menu No. Pressing [SUB] allows
you to select from among the sub-menus.
Press [MAIN] to exit the sub-menu selection.
4 Press [+], [–], Mic [UP]/ [DWN] to select a
parameter.
5 Press [MENU] to exit Menu mode.
• To remove the item from the Quick Menu,
press QUICK MEMO [M.IN] again.
4 Press [MENU] to exit Menu mode.
Note: You cannot add a sub menu No. to the Quick Menu. Press
[MAIN] to go back to the main menu No., then press
QUICK MEMO [M.IN] to add the menu No. to the Quick Menu.
USING THE QUICK MENU
1 Press [MENU].
2 Press [1MHz/ SEL].
• “MHz” appears.
3 Turn the MULTI/ CH control to select the desired
Quick Menu No.
4 Press [+], [–], Mic [UP]/ [DWN] to change the
current setting for the selected Menu No.
5 Press [MENU] to exit Quick Menu mode.
Note: If the Quick Menu has not been programmed, turning the
MULTI/ CH control in step 2 causes “CHECK” to be output in Morse
code.
