Hi Richard,
Remember that the 2 meter band has its own coax connector on the back of the
rig. 440 has an N connector.

Subject: Trying to Make My First 2M QSO on TS-2000
Hi!
I have tried to make my first 2M contact on my new Kenwood TS-2000 without
luck. I *think* it's setup right. Basically, I have followed the
instructions for this per the icanworkthisthing.com "Quick Start Guide" at
the link below. The following are my first of many questions:
1. When I rotate the tuning knob clockwise increasing the frequency,
sometimes I hear a "beep." What does that mean? It seems to happen at
random, even frequencies; like 145.300, 146.400, etc.
2. Well, since I live in LA, I expected to hear a lot of traffic. But I
only hear really faint and scarce squawking - really I hear nothing. Am I
missing something?
