The link will get you a fix for the Birdie Problem on the Kenwood TS-2000. Worked Great for me until I picked up my IC-9100. Sold it with my TS-2000. If you want to know about set up send me an e-mail. 73, Craig -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Angelo Glorioso Sent: Friday, August 2, 2013 5:08 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [amsat-bb] Re: Newbie needs advice on which transceiver to get Alan, Thanks for the reply. I usually don't reply to many emails here, but I feel this was necessary. I bare to disagree with you Alan. If I would have known the rig had a birdie right on the downlink frequency of two of the most popular fm birds, I would not have purchased the rig years ago. Making a statement of a "few quirks" does not give a person a fair assessment of the rig. I just feel it is a very important fact.
