Remote control of  Kenwood TS-2000 with control panel RC2000 (mode=8)
(Updated 09-09-09)

The technical solution for TS-2000 is the same as for TS-480 and IC-706 but TS-2000 has a special control panel witch works in parallel with the front panel controls on the Radio. This means that if you  have the TS-2000 at your summer QTH you do not need to take the control panel with you when you want to use the TS-2000 locally. We replace the cable between panel and radio with to RRC-1258, one connected to the control panel and one connected to the radio. No PC is needed at all. When you press the Power button on the panel, the radio comes to life at the remote side and sound and panel info flows across the internet between the pair of RRC-1258:s. The technique is the same as modern SIP-based IP telephones + a little extra. The look and feel of the panel is the same as if the panel was directly connected to the radio. The TS-2000 is quite simple to setup because you do not need any special cable. You can make the cables by your self using simple and cheap RJ-45 and RJ-12 connectors.
