Tom,
I wouldn't say the TX audio is "really bad," but it's not as good as the
TS-2000's audio. You can improve it somewhat with the right microphone, or
by using an external equalizer such as those made by W2IHY. That said, I
think the 480's audio is probably as good as that of the Icom radios you
mentioned.
Steve
