Re: Kenwood TS480SAT/HX

I have the 100watt version and am very pleased with it. Have had great audio reports and it seems to hear well, better than my old lincoln and my ranger-the only other radios I have had so its all I can compare them with atm. The built in ATU seems to do a "fair" job but think a seperate one would be needed for a G5RV or simillar. I like the way the head is off so can be easily mounted in the car, also gives more room on the desk in the shack. Also like the twin aerial inputs, easy to switch from the vertical to the horizontal.
