Hi.

That is disappointing.  Maybe I will hang onto my old equipment after
all.  Being that I live on a small city lot with limited space for
antennas, I don't need to handicap myself further by reducing power output
as well.  Then, again, maybe I should look at the 200 watt version of the
TS480.  I might get something approaching the output that I would get on an
older 100 watt radio.
