That did the trick Matt.  Thanks much.  I kind of thought I found 
it using the quick key guide but I just confirmed it now.  Thanks 
again, 73, Jim WA6EKS

Hi Jim and all,
It's the #9 key it acts like a toggle 9 puts it in to slow or 
fast mode.
Thanks 73 Matt ka0pqw

 Butch, I am wondering how you adjust the fine tuning so you can 
tune the
 VFO
 either slowly or more rapidly on the 2000?  I got it in the slow 
mode so
 it
 takes a week to tune from one end of the band to the other.  I 
know there
 must be a button on the front pannel like the TS480, but I can't 
find it
 in
 the quick key guide etc.  73, Jim WA6EKS

 I have never owned a 706, but I think there are folks on here 
that do.
 I do have a 2000 and it is a very accessible radio and goes to 
440 or
 1.2 gig depending on which model.

 No, I am interested in something more speech friendly.  I wasn't 
sure
 what spoke in that radio.  I think that either the TS 2000 from
 Kenwood, or the Icom 706 Mk 2 G, are the only two that speek.
 Thanks.

 Hi Mike,

 Yes it has a voice bord in it to give you s meter and frequency 
but
 that's
 it.
 Your going to have a bit of a hard time with any of the menus.
 But if your only interested in changing frequencies and modes 
and keying
 the
 mic then it's probley ok.
 Thanks 73 Matt ka0pqw

 I am interested in the Icom 7000.  I think those radios go to 
either
 2 meters or 70 centameters.
 Could you tell me the price you want for the radio?
 Thanks.

 Another radio worth the look is the 450.  I had one of those,
