Hi John, well, I think my 2000 is at least 10 or more years 
ancient.  Don't know what the serial number is, but I can't 
complain too much because I also have a TS-480 and, while it 
isn't nearly as killer as the 590, and now the 900, it does 
alright for me, a non-contester.  Jim WA6EKS

A=B is, on the right side of the radio there are the knobs for 
volume, rf
gain and all that, just to the left of those, below the big 
diamond shaped
button, there are 4 indented buttons, in that group of 4, it's 
the bottom
right one.  I don't know how old yours is but that sensitivity 
issue was
pre2005 I believe.  Mine was made in 2008 and can hold it's own 
with anything
out there on receive even on vhf.  The one problem I have had is 
the one I
mentioned on the list last week and that was a 2008/2009 run 
issue and will
be fixed for the cost of shipping.  Now if I can just get that 
but that's a
story for another day, the TS-450 will have to do for a few 
weeks.

 As a new Kenwood 2000 user, where is the a equals b key? I find
 the observation that the older 2000's are less sensitive than 
the
 newer ones kind of disheartening, especially because I got the
 this rig not only for HF, but for 2 meter SSB.  Jim WA6EKS

 You're right.  I can tell with mine if I did it because I have
 the beep
 volume turned way down.

 what did you screw up? you can do a full or partial reset.
 Partial won't
 kill all your memories and tuner settings like the full reset
 does.
 Press the A equals B key while powering the radio on.  Give it a
 second
 after powering on then hit the A equals B key again to confirm.

 I think the partial reset is the same but with the A plus B key.

 You'll know you've done it if you have the speech synth turned
 down a bit
 from default...it'll come back loud.

 Hi all,
 I screwed up my TS-2000 and need to do a full reset.  I thought
 I had =
 saved the procedure for doing this.  Can anyone share this?
 Thanks.
