Hi,  I now have a ts2000, I used to have a 847.  that I hated!  the speach
chip is junk!  I had to mute everything just to here it.  if it wouldn't
mute dew to noise level then I had to hit the button on my tuner to change
to no anntena.  Now I did have a 570gs, and I realy liked it.  but I wanted
something that was all band all mode.  Now the ts2002 is the best rig I have
ever seen!  I can work just about everything on it with out help.  also the
speach will read the s meter.  So if your looking for a rig, the best thing
I can say, stay away from the 847!  Junk junk junk!  at least thats what I
thought.

Thinking of buying one of these this year.  Like the idea of the ts-2000;
covers all I need, however, big chunk of change.  What are your general
impressions of the accessibility of these rigs.  Have heard good things
about the 570.

Thanks for any info.

By the way, from all your comments, I wil probably buy the thf6 within a
month.

Thanks again.
