@m0ogy Hello Dave thanx for the comment. The ts2000 is a nice radio but its got a high noise floor on hf compaired to the ft847. I use my ts2000 on vhf uhf it works really well there but I still think the 847 has the edge on receive. I did read somewhere that the preamp on the ts2000 has to be used all of the time that doesnt help with the noise level.
Welcome along to the radio repair (bodgit and leggit more like) community on the Youtube. I was inspired too by thecobraman to start fixing and modifying rado gear. Have the ham ticket too, but i still love CB. Spend most of my time repairing and modifying old CB rigs. Drop by my channel and have a look mate. Any mate of Mark's is a mate of mine.....

Welcome to the Youtube uploads, my friend.
Enjoyed a look around your shack/workshop.
I'm very surprised you rate the Yaesu above the Kenwood TS2000.
I own a TS2000E full line up as a back up and think it's superb.

@g1fsh I use my TS2000 for VHF also and have never realy used it on HF ,prefering my Icom IC756 PRO3 and my ever trusty Yaesu FT1000D.
I also have a fully speced up IC910HX that runs rings around any VHF/UHF radio.
Thanks for your reply
