Does anyone else think the Kenwood TS-2000 is ugly? It seems odd
that a company like Kenwood could come out with a radio as beautiful
as the Kenwood TS-940, and then follow it up a few years later with a
radio as ugly as the Kenwood TS-2000.

I had the 2000X for several months. Just could not get used to the firmware
after years of Icom. Selecting the RX antenna port was a hassle, no band
stacking registers, filter presets- on and on. Got rid of it and happy again
with a PRO II.

Kenwood is also getting ready to jump on the D-Star bandwagon.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, I guess. I think the Honda Element is
one ugly vehicle, but I see a lot of 'em on the road. My 2000 seems to be
quite a radio for the price. It does just about everything I want and need
in a rig, and does it all very well.
