Steve:

I didn't even think of the option of having menu versions A. and B. so that 
I could still get S meter readings from the TS480 given my current set-up, 
although, as you say, I'd have to be sure that both sets of menus were 
identical in all other ways.

It's interesting food for thought, though.

Thanks for jogging my memory!

Tom,

There is a way to have it both ways, although it's not a perfect
solution.  You can create two versions of the menus and switch
between them with the A/b button.  You'll just have to make sure
that all other settings in both versions are identical.  Your
only other option is to play with menu 48.
