THANK YOU
THANK YOU
Thank you for choosing this
KENWOOD
TS-480HX/
SAT transceiver. It has been developed by a team of
engineers determined to continue the tradition of
excellence and innovation in
KENWOOD
transceivers.
This transceiver features a Digital Signal Processing
(DSP) unit to process AF signals. By taking
maximum advantage of DSP technology, the
TS-480HX/ SAT transceiver gives you enhanced
interference reduction capabilities and improves the
quality of audio. You will notice the differences when
you fight QRM and QRN. As you learn how to use
this transceiver, you will also find that
KENWOOD
is
pursuing “user friendliness”. For example, each time
you change the Menu No. in Menu mode, you will see
scrolling messages on the display that tell you what
you are selecting.
Though user friendly, this transceiver is technically
sophisticated and some features may be new to you.
Consider this manual to be a personal tutorial from
the designers. Allow the manual to guide you through
the learning process now, then act as a reference in
the coming years.
