Anyone using TS-2000 on MARS FREQ while using the internal ATT?
Advise your comments welcome. Tnx Joe

I use the 2000 on mars frequencies, but the internal ATU will not go
there for me. I've heard rumors that some do, but mine dose not. I
have a fairly early TSB-2000. I use a LDG AT-100 Pro tuner and it is
great. Fully automatic, you don't even need to use the tune button.
Just set the tuner to auto mode and key up. If SWR is over your preset
value, the tuner automatically initiates a tune cycle and tunes in a
half second or so. The radio automatically drops transmit power if the
SWR is too high at start, and it goes back to your full power setting
when the SWR comes down. Don't waste money on the LDG Kenwood
interface, though, mine has never worked properly.
callsign at arrl.net is good for email.

I am also using the AT100 Pro. Excellent tuner! I also go outside the ham
bands with mine to authorized frequencies and it tunes easily to any of
them. I've never heard of one that had issues turning, or worked
improperly, on any HF frequency except 6 Meters. But then, that would be
stretching things a bit, eh, anyway!

I haven't tried it everywhere, but the tuner on the 2000 would never work on
the 60 meter frequencies even into a dummy load and the factory knows of
this. Most of these internal tuners have real limitations because of size
restrictions. I have used an older LDG kit tuner in the mobile and found it
superior to any of the internal tuners on various rigs. All tuners will
have impossible or rediculous (undefined) matching situations though,
requiring some kind of adjustment in the antenna system for any kind of
efficiency.
