yes, I've done it in cross band mode, but you have to set the squelch on the 
HF side so it doesn't hold the transmitter open on the V or U side.
If you have good strong signals, this works not too bad...but squelch on SSB 
is flaky at best, so it doesn't work all that well.
If you use the sky command options in the ts2000 along with an appropriate 
handheld, you can control more of what the radio does remotely.
But again, it's based on the SSB squelch thing which can become rather 
anoying when it keeps breaking open with every little noise on HF.
It works really well for just monitoring an HF frequency with your hand 
held...pick some seldom used VHF or UHF frequency, set your power to 5W and 
you can monitor an HF frequency with your handheld...of course, again, 
unless you set the squelch on the HF side of the 2000, you won't be able to 
transmit from your handheld.
