How to change a TS-2000 E2 model into an E,K model

• Remove the bottom (10 screws) and top (4 screws) covers.
• In the front panel, remove the top screws and loosen the bottom screws.
• Pull the front panel forward.
• You will see a fan on the left.
• To the right of the fan there is a group of 8 jumpers  (foto)
  
  
          47 49 51 53
          48 50 52 54
  

Within these jumpers you can place 0 Ohm resistors to change the configuration of the transceiver.

R47 - Configuration E2 model
R48 - Configuration E model
R47 and R48 removed - Configuration K model

When changing the model, the TX will be changed in the following bands:

    

	E2	E	K
160m	1,8-1,85	1,8-2	1,6-2
80m	3,5-3,8	3,5-3,8	3,5-4
40m	7,0-7,2	7,0-7,2	7,0-7,3
6m	50-50,2	50-52	50-54
2m	144-146	144-146	144-14
70cm	430-440	430-440	430-450

If you set up K model for its use in Europe, remember to turn OFF menu number 43 and change the repeater offset [ FUNC, 9 ] for UHF to 7600 KHz.

The 0 Ohm resistors must be placed in R47 or R48 in order to activate the E2 or E model. To obtain K model it is necessary to remove both.

In the others jumpers you must remove the 0 Ohm resistor to obtain the following advantages.

R52 - Extension of RX in the sub receiver (118 MHz - 525 MHz)
R53 - Extension of TX. It will transmit in all frequencies.
R54 - Expand options (Cross-band repeater, Sky Command, etc.)

After any modification you will have to full reset the transceiver; for that, follow the next steps.

• Turn off the transceiver
• A=B pressed while turning on. [ POWER + A=B ].
• Then confirm reset with A=B.
• All memories and menu configuration will be lost.

If you use the software MCP-2000 to configure the transceiver and you have made this modification, delete the next entry in the Windows registry:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/KENWOOD/MCP-2000

Run the MCP-2000 again and it will answer again for the transceiver model.

You can also change the entry in the Windows registry

    type="E10" para E2
    type="E20" para E
    type="600" para K

   

To assign the memories in the MCP-2000 for its use in Europe, it is important to take into account that the option -7.6MHz Shift in UHF does not exist. Use "Minus Shift" option and set 7600 KHz value in "Offset".

Enjoy your TS-2000!
