with Built-in Automatic Antenna Tunner
z 200W output (50MHz: 100W) DC 13.8V
operation: The TS-480HX is a highly versatile
rig offering 200W output (50MHz: 100W)
making it ideal for both base station and DXing
applications.
z 100W model: The 100W TS-480SAT is
additionally equipped with a built-in automatic
antenna tuner.
z TX/RX AF DSP: 16-bit AF digital signal processing
offers such powerful features as noise reduction,
TX/RX equalizer, and AF filters.
z Separate LCD control panel with speaker:
Sporting a large amber LCD with backlit keys,
the standalone control panel can be positioned
anywhere up to 13 feet or 4 meters from the
main unit.
z Continuous RX: 500kHz (VFO: 30kHz) to 60MHz
z TX covers all Amateur bands 1.8MHz to 50MHz
z Other features include a quad-mixer that provides
RX dynamic range in the TS-950 class, PSK31
compatibility, packet cluster tune (with TM-D700A),

EXCELLENT POWER AND
PERFORMANCE
z High RF power output
Equipped with a twin final section featuring splitter and
combiner circuitry, the TS-480HX can provide up to
200 watts RF output (50MHz: 100W) with a DC 13.8V
power supply. The TS-480SAT delivers up to 100 watts.
z Separate Power Sources
The 200W TS-480HX features two power terminals (DC1,
DC2) for separate supply to each half of the twin final
section; voltage balance is optimized to ensure stable output. This arrangement allows for use of two PS-53 power
supplies or a single 41A power source.
z Twin cooling fans
When used for extended periods, the heat build-up
inside a compact transceiver can be a serious concern,
reducing its working life. But the components in the
heavy-duty TS-480HX/SAT are designed to withstand
heat. What is more, it is equipped with a die-cast

| z Voice guide storage unit (option)
The VGS-1 voice guide and storage unit can serve two
important roles: vocal confirmation of frequency, key
operation, etc., and recording/playback of messages
received by the transceiver. A total of 90 seconds (3 x
30 seconds) can be recorded and stored in Flash ROM
for playback and transmission. Additionally, a convenient constant record
function means you can
always play back the last
30 seconds of reception
for confirmation.
