I see that the RRC-1258 has what looks like serial ports on it.  Does this work with the TS-2000's serial port and then plug-in your PC as if it were local?  If so, there are many remote-control programs out there which won't reproduce the nice display on the TS-2000, but at least makes it more useable.  i.e. you can change and set things via the PC instead of the RC-2000.

Well, at least it's down to the B2000 or 480 then.

Thanks for the tip.  I didn't know that you could use the full front panel remotely.  I used to have a TS-2000 but sold it when I moved to TN because there are lots of restrictions here.  I am coming up with a few ideas from the local hams though.

So if someone has a TS-2000 and has used that full panel remotely--how did you do it?  I remember taking apart the TS-2000 and it had ribbon cables inside that are push-fit into their connector; I'm not sure how you would interface to that.  If I am stuck with the B2000+RC-2000, it's still better than what I have set up now (nothing).

An alternative setup might be the TS-480SAT if the B2000 doesn't work; I give up 70cm but the radio is cheaper.

Hello; has anyone successfully used a RRC-1258 MkII setup on a TS-B2000 (faceless TS-2000) with the RC-2000?

This sounds like a good Summer project for me; the Kenwood will be in a location that I can't easily access the radio and will be used 100% remotely.  Just making sure this idea will work before I do it; an expensive project is OK so long as it works! 

Thanks
