  The TS-2000 gives you menu numbers and current setting, not a big deal to me 
  though I hardly go in the menu anyway. With the software you can tell what's 
  what, or you can make a quicklist of common menu items if you do make 
  changes a lot. The VS-3 is all you'll need with that, I have the DRU-3A in 
  mine too, the digital recorder board, but it's not needed. I like to have it 
  though. I have used the internal TNC, it's real basic and depending on what 
  you want to do, either just good enough or no good. For example, if you want 
  to do the packet cluster, it's good. APRS, it's good, Winlink, forget about 
  it. BBS's, it can do it but it can be a struggle because there's no RAM for 
  the TNC. I use it for the packet cluster and run a totally separate packet 
  setup for my packet work. I have tried it on winlink, and as I was warned, 
  it will lock up the TNC because it just can't do it. If you have a virtual 
  com port software, that will give it the buffering it needs, personally I'd 
  say it's not worth the trouble for that, it will do the packet cluster 
  though and the like. I use it for that. I'm very happy with the radio so 
  far, I've had it for over a year now and use it daily.
