Yeah, Actually, I think the TS-480 was the radio to introduce the VGS1,
either way that's quite a bit newer than the TS-2000 model of radios. My
DRU3A recording unit had to come form Atlanta so that won't be here for a
few days but I'll put it in when it gets here if I have time, it comes in
handy but it's not an absolute need.
