Hi Richard,
I really like the looks of the TS480SAT.
Perhaps I should just get that rig and reduce the power.
I also wonder between the two rigs, the Kenwood and the Icom Ic703 which has
the better internal tuner.
I also like the fact that you can enter frequencies directly with the
Kenwood and don't have to buy an external keypad.
