I used one on Field Day a couple years ago. I wanted to make some CW
QSO's and the OWNER couldn't even figure out how to turn on the sidetone
for CW. (Admittedly, he must not work much CW).
I am not fond of menu-driven radios. The TS-2000 appeared to go overboard
in that respect.
But maybe after you've owned one for a few months it's better. I don't
see someone learning it in a few days, though.
