Hi Richard,

Remember that the 2 meter band has its own coax connector on the back of the 
rig.  440 has an N connector.

Subject: Trying to Make My First 2M QSO on TS-2000

Hi!



I have tried to make my first 2M contact on my new Kenwood TS-2000 without
luck.  I *think* it's setup right.  Basically, I have followed the
instructions for this per the icanworkthisthing.com "Quick Start Guide" at
the link below.  The following are my first of many questions:



1.  When I rotate the tuning knob clockwise increasing the frequency,
sometimes I hear a "beep."  What does that mean?  It seems to happen at
random, even frequencies; like 145.300, 146.400, etc.



2.  Well, since I live in LA, I expected to hear a lot of traffic.  But I
only hear really faint and scarce squawking - really I hear nothing.  Am I
missing something?
