So here are hopefully the steps with pictures that will help someone else. I did some digging once I could reproduce the problem and found a post on the HRD forums at and outlined the steps for him in an email and it worked. But since he doesn’t have a front-panel on his TS-B2000, there’s no button to push and the ATU button in HRD wasn’t turning the AT on, just off. I was always pressing the AT button on the front of the radio and then the Tune function in Ham Radio Deluxe worked. After a few emails and me finally being able to be at my radio, I was able to understand his predicament. I really didn’t understand the problem he was having as I thought everything was working great with my setup. Otherwise, it’s the same radio as my TS-2000. The Kenwood TS-B2000 is meant to be computer controlled.

I have the Kenwood TS-2000 and this fellow had the Kenwood TS-B2000 which is the same radio but without any front panel display or controls. I emailed him since I have a very similar setup to what he was running. The only real difference is that when the TS-2000 is powered on and the KT-100 is attached, the Antenna Tuner defaults to off and needs to be enabled.

At least with my TS-2000, using the KT-100 is no different then using the internal tuner. The KT-100 is LDG’s Kenwood specific antenna tuner made for Kenwood radios that support the AT-300 connection such as the Kenwood TS-2000, TS-480. There was an operator on one of the mailing lists that was having an issue getting his Kenwood radio to kick in the LDG KT-100 antenna tuner while using Ham Radio Deluxe (HRD).
