Wow, Steve, there's another cool thing for me to try when I get the
time.
And, yes, I'm loving this TS480 more and more. It is just so much more
versatile and accessible than any other HF rig I have ever owned.
Thanks to you and everyone on the list for pointing me in the direction of
purchasing this rig for my motor home use.
