That's a good antenna, I run the diamond X200 here on my TS-2000 and have 
had it up for a few years with a few radios. It's a good antenna, with the 
TS-2000 you'd need a duplexer since the 2 meter and 440 antenna jacks are 
separate on that radio, but that's it, the antenna and good coax will to the 
trick nicely and last you a long time. Of course the mounting hardware as 
well, but I have no complaints with mine.
