except the ts2000 only has 3.0 on receive, not on tx.
The widest you can get on tx on the ts2000 with the built in dsp, and
without an after market filter is 2.7KHZ.
That said, the difference in frequency response between 2.7 and 3.0 for
human voice frequency response is hardly noticeable.
You can get tweaking software from the N U9N website that allows you to
customize the dsp filter for tx in the ts2000 to get a full 3K out of it
though...it isn't very accessible with JFW unfortunately.
I believe the same tweaking program will also allow for 6.0 on tx with some
heavy modifications to the DSP.
