        Sent the ts480 in to be fixed.  It locked in Transmit.  Nothing
except powering off the radio solved the problem.
Well, I had put the radio on it's side, to save space.  I had the top
of the radio pressed against the side of a cabinet.  I didn't realize
that the top had a vent above the controller board.
Well, the moisture in the basement corroded the board.  It has to be
replaced, for a cost of $400.
So my advice, don't do that.
