After completion of tuning, there is still
approximately 10W of output, so this is
useful if you want to go on to tune the
linear amp.
The internal antenna tuner can also be
used during RX. Depending on
conditions, sensitivity can vary by
enough to see a change in the
S-meter. It can also reduce
low-frequency interference.
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.
Maximum playback time is 30
seconds.
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.
