No, I don't think so. The only way to key the TS-2000 from software  
is with the "TX;" command which does exactly as you describe.

With the appropriate keying hardware you could also key the radio  
with the DTR or RTS lines on your serial interface.
You can build your own or use one of the microHAM devices.

I have added the AppleScript properties 'setdtr' and 'setrts' to the  
SetRadioParameters command...

SetRadioParameters with properties {setdtr:"1"}
SetRadioParameters with properties {setrts:"1"}

SetRadioParameters with properties {setdtr:"0"}
SetRadioParameters with properties {setrts:"0"}

This is available in MacLoggerDX version 4.2.2b5
