Bobby:

Congratulations, and you have made a very wise decision, in my opinion.

If others haven't already sent them to you, give me a private e-mail 
address, and I'll try e-mailing you the TS480 files I have.  They include a 
very helpful audio description from Howard, plus a key chart, menu list, and 
other assorted goodies.

The files were, and continue to be,  extremely helpful, and I think I only 
needed sighted assistance once from my XYL on one small issue in setting up 
the radio, which I can't even remember any more.  And, that may partly have 
been due to me, not the documentation.

Let us know when you get the radio, and we'll help you in any way we can.
