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. z Other Features Transverter display function (up to 999.9999 MHz) Wide/Narrow deviation selection (FM TX) Direct Frequency Entry CTCSS (42 subtone frequencies) 1750Hz Tone TX Monitor 5W Minimum RF Output for QRP Operating FSK Reverse Noise Blanker Packet Cluster Tune with TM-D700A* Cross-Band-Repeater(HF, VHF) with TM-D700A Auto Power Off Time-out Timer *Frequency data received by the TM-D700A (version G2.0 and later) can be transferred to the TS-480 via RS-232C cable (not supplied). z Memory Name function Clear identification is possible for the 100 memory channels with up to 8 alphanumeric characters each. z Multiple scan functions Included among the many scan functions are program scan, memory scan, group scan, subtone scan and CTCSS scan. z PC-based control The ARCP-480 radio control program (freely downloadable from the Kenwood web site)* enables PC-based control of all transceiver functions, as well as the customizing of TX/RX equalizer curves. z PSK31 compatible (SSB/FM) The TS-480HX/SAT can be connected directly to a computer for the increasingly popular PSK31 mode. It also offers the following convenient features: Separate adjustment of AF input/output levels (10 steps) Choice of center frequency (1000Hz or 1500Hz) Adjustable AF DSP filter bandwidth (7 steps) Selectable CW narrow IF filters (if installed) TX with VOX function (no need for a PTT control line) Microphone muting during PTT operation via the data terminal Attractive backlighting of the LCD and keys facilitates operation at night. External terminals ENHANCED OPERATING EASE z Built-in automatic antenna tuner (TS-480SAT) The automatic antenna tuner inside the TS-480SAT with presets for quick band changes covers all amateur bands 1.8MHz to 54MHz. z Emphasis on portability Outdoor use is facilitated by DC 13.8V operation and compact dimensions: the 7.05lbs. (3.2kg) main unit measures 7-1/16" x 2-3/8" x 10-3/16" (179 X 61 X 258 mm)(W X H X D)*, while the 1.1lbs. (0.5kg) control panel is 7-1/16" x 2-15/16" x 1-7/16" (180 X 75 X 37 mm)(W X H X D)* *Projections not included. z Separate LCD control panel with speaker The large, standalone LCD control panel featuring its own 2-5/8" (6.6cm) speaker (2W max. output) can be freely positioned up to13 feet (4 meters) from the main unit. The supplied tabletop panel bracket is convenient when using the transceiver at home on a desk, while the mobile panel bracket is ideal for mounting in a car. The panel can be snapped into place or removed from a bracket instantly. It also features 34 keys, each with backlighting to enhance operating ease. z AF filters Slope tune can be used to move the target signal away from noise using hi-cut and low-cut filters (SSB, FM and AM), while Width allows adjustment of the passband to avoid adjacent noise (CW/FSK). z TX filter Audio quality during transmit can be adjusted to suit by switching between two passband settings (500-2500Hz and the default 300-2700Hz). z Speech processor Available for SSB, FM and AM transmission, the speech processor enhances the clarity of messages for the receiving station. Input/output levels can be finely adjusted (0~100). z CW auto tune This feature uses DSP to automatically zero in on a target frequency during CW operations. It is also RIT compatible.
