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

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.
