Having owned both of them, here are my personal observations: TS-2000 can't send 12 volts via the coax line for preamps; TS-2000 has double the power on 2 meters; TS-2000 is available with 1.2 GHz; FT-847 doesn't have VOX; FT-847 has been discontinued for several years, can be difficult to find in

Seems typical to me that the federal government would set a precedent in which they encourage licenses in space which I assumed to be free space. Why should anyone require a license off the planet? This reminds me of the FCC selling licenses for frequencies that only exist when used. Pat >---

Any thoughts on the pros and cons of each of these rigs, particularly for satellite work? The used price for each is about the same, maybe a little higher for a fairly new TS-2000. I am aware of the TS-2000 birdie issue. 73, Bill NZ5N ___ Se
