Hi Anthony,
I had a TS2000 and traded for a 746PRO. (Involved some $$$s, also).
The Icom isn't as accessible as the Kenwood. But, many of the things
that aren't acfcessible are things that you touch once and then
pretty much forget. You can adjust filter width easily and you won't
hear the width spoken, but you will hear in the receiver what you
have done. Mode selection is easy and you can direct enter frequencies.
My big problem with the TX2000 was, that if I didn't use it daily, I
would forget what I needed to do!! Getting old!! nd, I tuned a 746
and decided that I far preferred the transceivers' receive
performance. And I owned a TS940 for years and still own a TS850 and
still really the 850. I believe, though, that the Icom receiver,
being ten years newer than the Kenwood, is a better piece of equipment.
Random thoughts.
Hope this helps.
