Icom 746 vs TS-2000
 

Looking for comments to see which is the better radio??? The original 746 or
the TS-2000??? Anyone have experience with both of these radios??? I
know the TS-2000 has UHF and the Icom 746 doesnt - other than UHF - how does
the quality of these radios compare?????? Which has the more desireable
receiver??? or is one better than the other on VHF 2 meter SSB??? or FM???

Thanks

I've never used or owned a 746, but I do have a TS2000 which is a good
radio for doing everything. If you're on a limited budget and want to
do HF, VHF, UHF including 1.2 Ghz (optional), AM, FM, SSB, CW, Sat,
RTTY, Packet, ect ect the TS2000 is your radio and all for about $1500
+/-.

Yes it's a hell of a rig considering all it can do.

I know its not what you asked for, but I must comment that my IC 746Pro
beats both of those units, IMHO. The IF DSP and noise reductions system
allow reception of signals that would be un-intelligible on those other two
rigs.
