Hi, all.

Well, I am anxiously awaiting the arrival of my TS480, and just thought of a 
question I could use some help with.

I'll do my best to verbalize this question in a way that hopefully will make 
sense.

As you may recall, I'm going to use the TS480 as my main HF rig in our motor 
home.  I have a Predator screw-driver-type antenna on the back of the motor 
home, and I use something called a Turbo-tuner, made by N2VZ Enterprise to 
tune the screw-driver for resonance on my chosen operating frequency.

The Turbo-tuner is interfaced with the Ts480 via two cables--one is an RS232 
cable which goes to the front of the radio, and the other is a cable that 
connects to the AT port on the back of the rig.

I am wondering if connecting the turbo-tuner in this way will automatically 
disable the auto-tuner in the TS480.  Or, can the auto-tuner still be used 
to further "fine tune" the antenna once it has been tuned by the 
turbo-tuner.

Thanks, and 73 from Tom Behler:  KB8TYJ
