Michael, thanks but my main interest is the dual receivers.
I am the E. C. of the county and if anything happens I can listen to two
different bands at the same time during an emergency.

HF, 6 METERS AND 2 METERS ARE 100W CW FM AND SSB, ABOUT 25W AM. 70CM IS =
ABOUT 50W CW FM SSB AND I HAVE NEVER CHECKED AM ON UHF. ONE THING TO = KNOW
IS THAT THERE IS A HORRIBLE BIRDIE ON THE SATELLITE SUB BAND ON UHF = WHICH
MADE THE OLD AO-27 SATELLITE USELESS.THIS BIRDIE IS AUDIBLE = ANYWHERE IN
THE HOUSE ON AN HT AS WELL WHENEVER THE RADIO IS POWERED UP. = ANOTHER
LIMITATION OF THE 2000 IS YOU CAN NOT GET SWR INFORMATION OR = READ ANY
METERING WHATSOEVER THAN THE S METER. YOU ALSO HAVE TO COUNT = CLICKS TO SET
PL TONES, AND HAVE WAY WAY TO TELL IF YOU HAVE THE = PROCESSOR TURNED ON.
THERE ARE OTHER RADIOS WHICH HAVE MORE THINGS YOU = CAN READ AS A BLIND OP.
ALL OF THAT HAVING BEEN SAID IT IS AN EXCELLENT = HF RADIO CONSIDERING IT IS
A DESIGN THAT IS OVER 15 YEARS OLD. THE DSP = ON NEWER RADIOS IS MUCH BETTER
I BELIEVE. I FIND THE DSP NOISE REDUCTION = TO BE ONLY MARGIONALLY
EFFECTIVE, AND IT OFTEN MAKES WEAK SIGNALS HARDER = RATHER THAN EASIER TO
COPY. I HAD THE CHANCE TO OPERATE AN ICOM 7800 AND = ALTHOUGH THAT IS
OVIOUSLY NOT A FAIR COMPARISON, RATHER LIKE COMPARING A = TOYOTA COROLLA TO
A BMW, THE DSP WAS SHOCKINGLY MORE EFFECTIVE ON THAT = RADIO, AND I CAN ONLY
WONDER HOW MUCH BETTER THE DSP IS ON A KENWOOD =
TS590 THAN THE 2000. I ALSO FIND THAT I CAN HEAR WEAK STATIONS ON MY =
TMV71A MOBILE THAT ARE NOT AS STRONG ON MY 2000. IF YOU PLAN ON USING A =
PREAMP AT THE ANTENNA THEN THAT IS NO ISSUE.
GOOD LUCK AND ENJOY
