T 100W model: The 100W TS-480SAT is additionally equipped with a built-in automatic antenna tuner. T TX/RX AF DSP: 16-bit AF digital signal processing offers such powerful features as noise reduction, TX/RX equalizer, and AF filters. T 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. T Continuous RX: 500kHz (VFO: 30kHz) to 60MHz T TX covers all Amateur bands 1.8MHz to 50MHz T Other features include a quad-mixer that provides RX dynamic range in the TS-950 class, PSK31 compatibility, packet cluster tune (with TM-D700A), PC-based control, and optional IF filters. DX Distinction Creative Concept, Elegant Engineering 200W Model HF/50MHz All-Mode Transceiver 100W Model with Built-in Automatic Antenna Tunner Tailor-made for DXing, the new TS-480HX HF transceiver raises the bar on mobile performance. Despite its compact dimensions, it delivers an astonishing punch: 200W with a DC 13.8V supply. Yet its separate control panel is perfect for base station use. Sharing virtually all the same powerful features is the 100W TS-480SAT, except that it boasts a built-in antenna tuner. Whichever model you choose, you can be sure of enjoying the best of both worlds first-rate communications at home and on the trail. 200W200W TS-480HXTS-480HX?TS-480HX? T? ? ? ? TS-480SATTS-480SAT?TS-480SAT? One Rig to Rule Them All Kenwood Engineering at Its Finest EXCELLENT POWER AND PERFORMANCE EXCELLENT POWER AND PERFORMANCE T 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. T 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. T 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 Splitter Twin final section 100W? 100W? 200W? Combiner aluminum chassis and twin fans for enhanced cooling efficiency. And since the control panel is separate from the main unit, the fans are able to generate a powerful air- flow from front to back. As a result, you can rely on this transceiver to transmit continuously for 30 minutes* without having to power down. *This figure is supplied for reference purposes only and depends on there being an ambient temperature of 25 C, antenna SWR of 1.2 or less, and nothing to obstruct the air flow generated by the cooling fans. T RX dynamic range A quad-mixer provides RX dynamic range equivalent to that of the TS-950 class (at 50 kHz separation). T CW support There is a full range of CW features, including auto tune. When in SSB mode, a simple key-press will switch automatically to CW. Another convenient feature is the ability to record three different messages for quick transmission during contests. You can choose between full and semi-break-in; for the former the delay time between key release and active receive mode can be set for between 50ms and 1000ms in 50ms steps. Other CW features include pitch control (400-1000Hz), side tone monitor with 10-step volume setting, an electronic keyer, microphone paddle mode and CW reverse mode. As a go-anywhere HF/50MHz all-mode transceiver, Kenwoods new TS-480HX/SAT is well ahead of the pack when it comes to advanced electronic engineering, convenient features and ease of operation. The TS-480SAT is equipped with a built-in automatic antenna tuner. The TS-480HX features two power terminals for the twin final section. AF DIGITAL SIGNAL PROCESSING (TX/RX) T IF filters (option) Optionally available for more intense operations are 500Hz and 270Hz band CW narrow IF filters (YF-107C, YF-107CN), as well as a 1.8kHz band SSB narrow IF filter (YF-107SN). Any two of these IF filters can be installed inside the transceiver. AF DIGITAL SIGNAL PROCESSING (TX/RX) Thanks to a 16-bit digital signal processor offering double-precision arithmetic operations (equivalent to 32-bit processing), a 100MHz clock and 16-bit A/D it can suppress noise at the same frequency as the target signal, allowing it to pull a weak target signal out from the surrounding noise. T TX/RX equalizer The equalizer offers flat (default), high boost (2 types), formant pass, bass boost (2 types), conventional and user* settings, separately for transmit and receive. *Configurable using the ARCP-480 radio control program.

T 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. T 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. T 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). T TX filter Audio quality during transmit can be adjusted to suit by switching between two passband settings (500-2500Hz and the default 300-2700Hz). T 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 (0100). T CW auto tune This feature uses DSP to automatically zero in on a target frequency during CW operations. It is also RIT compatible.
