Colin,
You're right, Kenwood doesn't use a stereo amplifier in the 480, or
any other radio for that matter. However, they do use 3-conductor
jacks so you can plug in a set of stereo headphones and get sound in
both ears. I think that's a good idea, since stereo headsets are
quite common these days and most people have them.
