When I got my Mc60, I also got an adapter which plugs right into 
the RJ45 connector on the 480.  Works fine.  Jim WA6EKS

I find if you don't run the amplification with the MC-60 you 
usually don't
have the RF issue and I see no reason at all for the 
amplification, with my
TS-2000 I have it with no amplification, mic gain around 70%, FM 
mic gain
high and no problems at all.  If I run the amplification I find 
in order for
it to sound good I need to back the mic gain down and it picks up 
all kinds
of background noise.  I'm in a trailer, it's great for RF not 
getting back in
but far from sound proof within.  I'm sure the heil mics will 
sound good as
well, the big problem with the 480 is that wiring issue with the 
grounds
being reversed.  I'm sure heil would have a cable to fix that for 
their mics
if they need it.  I used to have a real hifi setup, w2ihy 
equalizer and what
not but over the years finances got tight, space got tight, 
interests
changed and now I'm back to basics.

 Hi;
 Thanks Steve for the ts480 info.  These fingers are getting the 
hang of
 it and might end up with a usable antenna.  Bought a sp23 
external
 speaker and it made an astonishing difference in the receive 
audio.
 Any thoughts as to a good desk microphone?  The logical choice 
might be
 the mc60 but it has been known to have r f issues.  For the 
reasonable
 future I'm going to be running 100 wats.  What have folks loved 
from heil?
