I'm using the SSB DCC-12N sequencer and Bias-T to power the UHF mast mount
preamp, and the SSB DCC-12 Bias-T to power the mast mount S Band
downconverter.

It would have been nice if Kenwood had thought to include sequenced Bias-T's
in their design.

One of their sales guys at Dayton told me it was because the TS-2000 had
such a good front end that it didn't need a pre-amp !

I'm still chuckling over that one :)
