Hi, Folks.  Am getting used to working my TS480SAT, getting 
comfortable with the controls before my antennas go up.  I have a few 
questions:

1.  If I want to go to LSB while in CW mode on any band, can I force 
the rig into that mode?  I ask that because I might want to go LSB if 
I get lots of interference or noise on a given frequency.  I noticed 
that when I was on 20 meters and selecting modes, the rig wouldn't go to LSB.

2.  I plan to try and access some 6-meters around my area, or maybe 
even 10-meter repeaters.  Can I store splits in memories as one would 
with VHF radios?

3.  Finally, I have the interface (USB TO DB-9) cable I bought from 
RT Systems.  It shows up in Device Manager as COM9.  However, when I 
tried to use this cable with the Kenwood ARCP program, it didn't see 
the radio.  Anyone else have trouble with this?  I've been reluctant 
to buy USB to serial cables, because they are not all reliable.

Any help here regarding the above would be greatly 
appreciated.  Thanks in advance.--Matt, N1IBB/AG
