Hi, folks.

I'm in the process of putting together my order for the Kenwood TS480-SAT 
(the 100-watt version with the built-in auto-tuner), and I have three quick 
questions:

1.  Does the hand mic supplied with the radio have the PF buttons that will 
allow you to access things like frequency read-out, frequency entry, and the 
"tune" function from the mic?
Someone told me that I might have to order a special mic to do that, unlike 
what was the case with the TMV71A.

If I need to order a special mic, which one is it?

2.  Does anyone know how many filters can be installed into the TS480 
simultaneously?

I'm thinking of an SSB and a CW filter.


3.  Regarding the CW filter, should I go with the 500-HZ filter, or the 270 
HZ filter?  Somehow, 270 HZ seems too narrow for me for comfortable CW 
copying.

Thanks as always for your help.
