Detailed instructions for use are in the User's Guide.

[. . . ] Preface This in-depth manual for the TS-480 was written by the engineers who actually planned and designed the product. It is our hope that this guide will serve to convey the joys of HF and all the benefits of owning and using the TS-480 to whoever reads this guide ­ whether you have already purchased a TS-480, an accomplished operator, thinking of buying a transceiver, or just thinking of taking up Amateur Radio as a hobby. We believe the TS-480 will appeal to everyone.

From then on, such equipment has become an essential part of the Amateur Radio world. [. . . ] If you own an AT-300, you can connect it to the TS-480; however, operation is limited by the capabilities of the AT-300. You can control the linear amp independently for the HF and 50MHz bands. And if the amp is not compatible with full break-in, you can add in a delay for the TX attack. With the VGS-1 Voice Guide and storage unit installed, you can engage constant record for the RX signal. This is not just for contest CQ machines; it can be used as a simple beacon. Interval time can be adjusted up to a maximum of 60 seconds.

At the same time, sidetone frequency changes with the pitch frequency. This can be used to zero in on a target signal by matching the sidetone frequency with the RX beat. Swap the paddle position to suit either right-handed or left-handed use. Automatically switch mode to CW transmission by simply operating the paddle. Useful if used in combination with #39, as there is no need to operate the dial to zero in on a target. Standard FSK operating parameters are covered by these menus. You can adjust FM mic gain (3 levels) This enables you to pick the appropriate DSP filter for data communications using the filter switch on the control panel. Adjust input and output levels independently when the TS-480 is connected to a SoundBlasterTM card or other external device.

Inhibits TX, which is useful if the transceiver is to be used for RX only as it prevents unintentional transmissions. Power can be switched off automatically in the absence of any operations. Standby wiring may not be required provided that the method used is compatible with data communications.

In addition to the automatic Voice Guide, you can have frequency and other displayed data read out when you press a PF key. The squelch can be forced open for as long as the PF key is depressed. The TS-480 will receive using the widest passband available in that mode for as long as the PF key is depressed. This prevents unintentional operation of the encoder when the transceiver is being used in a vehicle. [. . . ] · If the DATA terminal is used: Use menus #46 & #47 to check that I/O levels are correct. · If MIC/EXT-SP is used: Check that AF level and mic gain are correct. · Check your computer: Check that the computer can produce sound; update drivers as necessary. Connect the transceiver's RX audio to the input of your computer and bring up the recording control window. [. . . ]
