❚ 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.
❚ Emphasis on portability
Outdoor use is facilitated by DC 13.8V operation and com-
pact 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.
❚ 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.
❚ 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
pass-band to avoid adjacent noise (CW/FSK).
❚ TX filter
Audio quality during transmit can be adjusted to suit by
switching between two passband settings (500-2500Hz
and the default 300-2700Hz).
❚ 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).
❚ CW auto tune
This feature uses DSP to automatically zero in on a
target frequency during CW operations. It is also RIT
compatible.
