I own a TS-2000. The birdie problem on SO-50 and AO-27 is quite real,
and there is no fix I know of. I find that the birdie is so bad that
even if I use a different receiver on UHF, I pick up the birdie on it
as well! So it is a worse radio regarding satellite work than the ICOM
if you care to work these birds. However, if you consider the fact
that a fine HF radio is thrown in at no extra cost, that there is
continuously adjustable filtering also at no cost, you might prefer
that trade-off. I'm reasonably pleased with mine.
However, if money were no issue, I would get the ICOM for satellite
work and a different HF radio with even better characteristics.
