Thank you very much Dave.
I assume that's not possible to setup an USA spesc TS-2000 in EU specs
working on menus (like it's possible with some rtx, ie Yaesu FT-100d).
I don't know if that's possible.
The band configuration of the TS-2000 seems to be controlled by a
combination of factors. As with many radios, there are some
surface-mount pull-up/down resistors which are read by the CPU at
hard-reset time - these can be removed to enable wideband transmit and
receive.
I suspect that the finer-grain control of the band access is
controlled by the firmware. There may be different firmware versions
for the US and EU, or the firmware might be reading another
pullup/pulldown or a serial-number or region register to figure out
what regional bandplan to implement. It _might_ be possible to load
EU firmware into a US transeiver, or vice versa, but I'm afraid I have
no details as to where or how.
