Kenwood: Kenwood TS2000

[radio259]

I know they are discontinued, but have a question: Generally serial numbers run low to highest, as being latest production has a higher number.

Does the same hold true for the TS 2000?? Remember there were issues with the very early models.

TIA

Wow! Will they still be making them in 2025, much less 2259?

A99xxxx = September 2009
B02xxxx = February 2010
C5Axxxx = October 2025
Z9Cxxxx = December 2259

The date coding that Kenwood uses in their serial numbers applies to pretty much all of their products, not just the TS-2000.

Ah, good to know then. Will Kenwood still be around by December 2259 though?
