My best advice is to try and get your hands on all of them and see which one feels best to you, they are three very different style and feel radios. You really can't go wrong with any of the three, period. If the all mode 2m/440 isn't critical to you, absolutely I'd go with the FT-950. Also has amazing TX audio when you take the time to get it dialed in. They both do 100W on 2m as well, very handy if you like simplex as much as I do.įT-950 has the best HF performance of all three for filtering/selectivity, it's the most advanced filtering and DSP of the three hands down. TS-2000 audio is fantastic for FM simplex, far better than a regular dual-band, but the Pro is also very good on FM. I don't need my dual-band radio in the shack at all now. TS-2000 has a sub receiver for VHF/UHF so I can listen and operate my repeaters while working HF as well.
TS-2000 does satellite, something I haven't yet used, but will eventually. Has simply fantastic TX audio, I'm a born rag chewer and my audio quality for TX is very important to me the TS-2000 and the FT-950 have the best audio on the list, not that a Pro is bad, not at all, it's just narrower and can't be as hi-fi as the other two. Has UHF all mode and 6m/VHF/UHF all mode were major reasons I swapped the FT-1000MP, I wanted those bands and no money for another radio.ĭoes crossband repeat and with a Sk圜ommand Kenwood HT or mobile, you can remote control it via RF as well.think walking around the neighborhood on an HT but working on 75m.or most any other band. I weighed the 746Pro vs the TS-2000 when I was arranging the trade. I own a TS-2000 and traded an FT-1000MP for it and also own a TS-680S. PS.FT-950 at R and L Electronics.$1399 including (6.5%)OH/sales tx.no tx for most out of state sales but plus shipping The FT-950 is the new monster of my midway! The TS-130SE+ EXT VFO+sp120 and the TS-180 with the DM180 unit, they are still here in the shack.
I was a KENWOOD man for many years.Still love my TS-450SAT with the full INRAD filters package.had a TS-850(sold it) had TS-120's(gone to) I absolutely love the receiver!!! This rig is a CW op's dream machine and I have had NOTHING but rave reviews on the SSB audio with the Heil GM5 studio Mic I purchased with it. Yes I am in love with the FT-2000D but the FT-950 at $1100 less is great!!! I also operated a FT-2000D with the DMU-2000 package.WOW what a rig!!! Best I have ever seen or operated. I do not like his audio on the 746 Pro compared to the 756 Pro II. The 746 pro's are a lesser featured version of the 756 pro II and III and I must say after operating Field Day with a Pro III, I was impressed and a friend I work alot has a Pro II and it sounds great. Hammer: I was never an ICOM operator.never like the sound of their audio on SSB.
