I think another thing to keep in mind with the Yaesu, apart from what it
does or doesn't read, is that it does not come with a built-in, onboard
antenna tuner or vox.  These are, as I understand, both add ons.  73

Hello James and List,

Thanks for the information.  I am a great fan of the Kenwood line.  Over the
years I have owned the ts-711/811 for vhf and uhf and now own a TH-F6A that
I am very pleased with.  It's great that Kenwood is continuing their
tradition of accessibility.  Good luck with your TS-2000.  73.
