I bought a Kenwood TS 2000 from N0AKF his emails said radio was 100% when getting radio it cuts out on receive on hf bands, there was no serial tag on radio thru emails found out radio is more than 4 years old and he got it used he sold this to me for $1100.00 to me that's not fair market value a lot for older radio. he will not take back radio I'm out $1100.00 hard earned money be care full dealing with this man I am going to attorney general to resolve this.

Ref this transaction - the issue with the TS-2000 is NOT an issue with the radio. The radio has an over-voltage protection circuit and when the radio senses too much voltage then the circuit kicks in. Reducing the input voltage from the power supply solves this. This is a safety in the radio. As for age/condition of radio all questions were answered prior to sale and photos from all angles provided. I tried to help the buyer out in understanding about reducing the voltage. As for price - the price included insured - double boxed Fed-Ex shipping and paypal. The buyer agreed to the price. I am sorry he is not happy, but I can not be responsible for buyer's remorse. The radio works 100%.

I also have offered to accept the return of the radio minus shipping.

Saucier (kc2awr). Thank you for you're post. I almost purchased a ft-950 from this guy. It is very helpful for people to post here. That ts-2000 sounds like a real basket case. I have hade 2 of them and no where in the owners manual does it say overload protection for voltage. Or to lower the voltage. Especially if if it works on. 2 meters and not on hf. It's probley. The ceramic filters that are a every other day herd of. Check the serial number on the radio. Kenwood is paying for some of them to be repaired You will have to ask about what s/n is affected. Good luck.

I am not sure what type of scam KC2AWR and N2UNL are trying to pull but they know each other and Brian was pretending to buy my 950.

Radio was returned safely and working 100%. No issues found. Refunded purchase price minus shipping.
