ACCESSORY CONNECTIONS FRONT PANEL ■ Headphones (PHONES) Connect monaural or stereo headphones having a 4 to 32Ω impedance. This jack accepts a 6.3 mm (1/4") diameter, 2-conductor (mono) or 3-conductor (stereo) plug. After connecting the headphones, you will hear no sound from the internal (or optional external) speaker. ■ Microphone (MIC) Connect a microphone having an impedance between 250 and 600Ω. Fully insert the connector, then screw the retaining ring clockwise until secure. Compatible microphones include the MC-43S, MC-47, MC-52DM, MC-60A, MC-80, MC-85, and MC-90. Do not use the MC-44, MC-44DM, MC-45, MC-45E, MC-45DM, MC-45DME, or MC-53DM microphones. REAR PANEL ■ External Speakers (EXT.SP1/ EXT.SP2) This transceiver has 2 independent receivers. Thus, it can output 2 separate audio signals. As a default, the transceiver mixes both audio signals internally and outputs them from the internal speaker. On the rear panel of the transceiver, there are 2 external speaker jacks. If an external speaker is connected to EXP.SP1, the internal speaker will mute. If the speaker is connected to EXT.SP2, both the external speaker and the internal speaker will function. Use only external speakers with an impedance of 4 to 8Ω (8Ω nominal). These jacks accept only 3.5 mm (1/8") diameter, 2-conductor (mono) plugs. Do not connect headphones to this jack. The high audio output of this jack could damage your hearing. ■ Keys for CW (PADDLE and KEY) For CW operation using the internal electronic keyer, connect a keyer paddle to the PADDLE jack. For CW operation without using the internal electronic keyer, connect a straight key, semi-automatic key (bug), electronic keyer, or the CW keyed output from a Multimode Communications Processor (MCP) to the KEY jack. The PADDLE and KEY jacks mate with a 6.3 mm (1/4") 3-conductor plug and a 3.5 mm (1/8") 2-conductor plug respectively. External electronic keyers or MCPs must use positive keying to be compatible with this transceiver. Use a shielded cable between the key and the transceiver. Note: Due to the functionality of the internal electronic keyer, you may find it unnecessary to connect both a paddle and another type of keyer unless you want to use a PC-based keyer for CW. Read the "ELECTRONIC KEYER" section {page 42} to become familiar with the internal keyer. 1 INSTALLATION Headphone TS-2000 TS-2000X TS-B2000 MIC q PTT w DOWN e UP r i GND (STBY) u GND (MIC) y NC t 8 V (10 mA max) Microphone MIC connector (Front view) External speaker TS-2000 TS-2000X TS-B2000 GND + GND dash dot • Straight key • Bug key • Electronic keyer • MCP CW output • Paddle 3

Do not use the MC-44,
MC-44DM, MC-45, MC-45E, MC-45DM,
MC-45DME, or MC-53DM microphones.
REAR PANEL
External Speakers (EXT.SP1/ EXT.SP2)
This transceiver has 2 independent receivers.
Thus, it can output 2 separate audio signals.
As a
default, the transceiver mixes both audio signals
internally and outputs them from the internal
speaker.
On the rear panel of the transceiver,
there are 2 external speaker jacks.
If an external
speaker is connected to EXP.SP1, the internal
speaker will mute.
If the speaker is connected to
EXT.SP2, both the external speaker and the
internal speaker will function.
Use only external
speakers with an impedance of 4 to 8
Ω
(8
Ω
nominal).
These jacks accept only 3.5 mm (1/8")
diameter, 2-conductor (mono) plugs.
Do not connect headphones to this jack.
The high audio output
of this jack could damage your hearing.
Keys for CW (PADDLE and KEY)
For CW operation using the internal electronic
keyer, connect a keyer paddle to the PADDLE
jack.
For CW operation without using the internal
electronic keyer, connect a straight key,
semi-automatic key (bug), electronic keyer, or the
CW keyed output from a Multimode
Communications Processor (MCP) to the KEY
jack.
The PADDLE and KEY jacks mate with a
6.3 mm (1/4") 3-conductor plug and a 3.5 mm
(1/8") 2-conductor plug respectively.
External
electronic keyers or MCPs must use positive
keying to be compatible with this transceiver.
Use
a shielded cable between the key and the
transceiver.
Note:
Due to the functionality of the internal electronic keyer, you
may find it unnecessary to connect both a paddle and another
type of keyer unless you want to use a PC-based keyer for CW.
Read the “ELECTRONIC KEYER” section {page 42} to become
familiar with the internal keyer.
