I've had a TS2000 since 2005, and have never regretted my purchase. Sure,
there is an unfortunate birdie that messes up SO50 and AO27, but so what. I
resurrected an old Kenwood TM-G707A to deal with those two FM birds, and it
works great. I also have an FT-857D which also does a nice job on those two
birds. I would naturally expect the comments on this board to lean towards
the IC-910H, and, indeed, it is a fine SATELLITE rig. But, my number one
preference in operating is the HF bands, not satellite. Guess what I am
saying is if VHF/UHF and satellite is your only operating preference, then
the Icom might be a better rig. But, if you also like to do the HF bands
with an occasional hop to the satellites, the TS2000 is pretty good. Is the
TS2000 the best HF rig? Probably not, but it's the only one that offers
pretty good HF operation AND reasonable satellite operation in the same box.

For me, it was RS-10, where I had my first satellite contact in 1991.
:) Again, 2m up, 10m down SSB. My first FM contact was much later,
in 1999 on SO-35. I did try RS-12/13, but it didn't seem to be as
potent as RS-10 was. Was using less effective antennas on RS-10 than
later on RS-12/13.
Mode A birds are another good beginner's satellite, because a lot of
people have HF and 2m SSB radios, and Doppler is not too severe
(easily handled by manual tuning of the uplink).

Ditto K8CXM's comments. I have much less enthusiam for the FM sats than FO29,
AO7 and VO52. Using SATPC, these are a piece of cake to regularly work with
no crowds, big footprints and super doppler control. Also, notwithstanding
the birdie, I have no difficulty working SO50 or AO27 once the doppler has
moved the downlink away from the birdie. Obviously not as convenient as one
would like, but still workable.
But here is also what really sells me on the 2000.
I also have an interest in HF and after discovering PSK and the other digital
modes (thank you Signalink USB), I now run VHF packet and have fun dig'g over
ISS. The full CW break-in is superior. I also am a new 6 mtr convert. If I
am not mistaken (someone will correct me), based on the info in the current
AES catalog, the 910 does not cover 6 mtrs. Finally, using the Kenwood TH-D7
HT, one can operate the 2000 remotely (haven't tried SkyCommand yet, but that
is next.)
FWIW to this discussion.

Hello everyone,
This is making the e-mail rounds of mid-west ham radio circuits. Working a
high altitude balloon launch might be interesting to AMSAT folks in the
central portion of USA ...
QSO Opportunity with High Altitude Balloon Flight Saturday,
18 July 2009
As part of SpaceJam-3 (www.spacejamboree.com),
DePauw University (www.depauw.edu/acad/physics/base) will
be flying a cross band repeater to allow the Scouts at the Jamboree
to talk with ground stations from a large area of the central
portion of the United States.
Launch will occur at 13:50 UT (8:50 am Central Daylight Time)
from Rantoul, IL (40.29 N, 88.14 W) The target ascent rate will
be 1000 feet/min.
APRS information will be sent over 144.39 MHz every minute under
the call sign, W9YJ-11.
The helium filled balloon will reach a float altitude of 70000
feet (21.5km) about 15:00 UT and will attempt to float at this
altitude for about three hours. During this time the balloon
should travel slowly to the NW from about 40.0N & 87.8W to 40.1 N
& 88.1 W. The descent will begin about 18:00 UT on a slowly
deflating balloon with landing about 19:30 UT.
The uplink frequency on the radio will be 144.36 MHz, and the
downlink frequency will be 446.025 MHz.
The Scouts will be using the call sign WB9SA. If you have a
chance to contact the station, the Scouts will be thrilled to
make the contact! You may also attempt to use the repeater for
a long distance Earth-Balloon-Earth contact with hams from larger
distances.
Thanks to Howard Brooks, KC9QBN, Professor of Physics & Astronomy
at DePauw University, W9YJ for making this happen!!!
If you are in the IL/IN area you might catch ATV from our first
balloon going up (100,000 ft) at 8:20 AM CDT Saturday from Rantoul
IL 430 Mhz, with a CW call "DE WB9SA"

Hi!
I drove north from Phoenix this morning, and spent some of the
afternoon working a pair of AO-27 passes followed by an AO-51
pass from the DM35/DM45 line. I parked on the side of old US-66
north of the I-40 freeway, about 20 miles/32km west of Flagstaff
AZ. I have operated from this location many times over the past
year or so. Much cooler weather up here in the mountains,
compared to Phoenix in the desert. :-)
On AO-27, the first pass I worked at 2000 UTC was the most
productive of the afternoon - 12 contacts with stations across the
US and Mexico. The next AO-27 pass at 2141 UTC put 8 more QSOs in
the log, followed by 9 more QSOs on the 0100 UTC AO-51 pass that
covered most of the continental US. A good day, with a total of 29
QSOs in the log.
For tomorrow (Friday, 17 July), I will be on the air from the ARRL
Arizona State Convention and Hamfest in Williams AZ. Williams is a
small city along old US-66, about 10 miles/16km west of where I
operated from today, and the starting point for the Grand Canyon
Railway. I am planning to be on the air for the 1300 UTC AO-51 pass,
as well as the later AO-51 pass. SO-50 will be going by, and I think
I can get on for one of those passes, plus a VO-52 pass just before
1800 UTC (1100 local, the time of my presentation at the hamfest's
exhibit hall). I should be able to get on AO-27 passes in the
afternoon, as well as the first (eastern, for me) AO-51 pass a little
past 0000 UTC. The hamfest site is in grid DM35vg.
Again, there's no need to send me QSLs or SASEs to get QSL cards for
any contacts made with WD9EWK over the next week. You don't have to
e-mail me with every QSO; one e-mail sent after I return home on 22
July with all QSOs in it would be sufficient. If I find the QSO(s)
in the log, I will be happy to send cards for each contact. And,
as I've been doing since last year's Arizona/Utah/Nevada road trip,
cards will clearly identify each location I operate from along with
a picture of my GPS receiver's readout to show the latitude/longitude
of the location.
73!

honestly don't recall, I bought my ts2000x about 3yrs ago now.
At that time I wrestled between the TS and the IC910h
At that time I just googled both, saw a few comments regarding a
birdie for each and ended up w/the TS2000x because I figured HF
would be a added bonus along w/sky command as I live near a few
schools and wanted to do some demo's
Is the IC910 'birdie free' , with respect to satellites?
Perhaps I was incorrect
If so maybe it's time to try one :)
thanks

I don't think the 910 or the 847 has any birdies in the sat frequencies. It
anyone finds any I would like to know. It is a shame about the 2000, it is a
much better HF TXR then the 847, but the birdie at 145800 is the satellite
use show stopper. I have all three here in the shack, and a blackbox 2000 as
my HF mobile. The only one I purchased new was the 847 in 1998 or so. The
910, and 2000's were picked up used at a very good price, the good deals are
there if your patient. I would recommend a used 847 over the 2000. The
money saved over a new TS-2000 purchase can be used to buy a better HF
performing rig then the 2000. My 2 cents.

Are you mistaken? I don't think the TS2000 has a birdie at 145.800MHz.
It does have one at 436.800MHz.
I would agree with your other comments.

Of course David, you are correct. The birdie is at 436.800. That will teach
me to not proof read before hitting the enter key. Thanks for the
correction...

Are you mistaken? I don't think the TS2000 has a birdie at 145.800MHz.
It does have one at 436.800MHz.
I would agree with your other comments.

I don't think the 910 or the 847 has any birdies in the sat frequencies. It
anyone finds any I would like to know. It is a shame about the 2000, it is a
much better HF TXR then the 847, but the birdie at 145800 is the satellite
use show stopper. I have all three here in the shack, and a blackbox 2000 as
my HF mobile. The only one I purchased new was the 847 in 1998 or so. The
910, and 2000's were picked up used at a very good price, the good deals are
there if your patient. I would recommend a used 847 over the 2000. The
money saved over a new TS-2000 purchase can be used to buy a better HF
performing rig then the 2000. My 2 cents.
