Thanks again Steve, I'll try Menu 62 because I'd like to be able 
and retrieve s meter readings by just hitting a key twice.  Jim

Oops,  meant to say set menu 48 to either 61 or 62.  61 will read 
vfo,
62 will read s meter.   Setting menu 48 to anything from 000 to 
60 will
  cause the radio to jump to that menu when you press the f key.    
This
is probably how you got "locked" into menu 60.

I keep mine set at 62 for s meter and hit the menu key twice 
quickly to
get frequency.

 Jim,

 Since you seem to know where you are, I assume the speech is 
working  .
   I don't think menu 60 has sub menus, so if you are there, just 
use the
 knob to go to menu 48and  try  setting to  60 or 61 and see  if 
you get
 the readout you want.

 You should get the Kenwood software and keep a back up of 
settings that
 can be restored later.

 A partial reset will leave menu and memory  settings in place.  
I think
 you need to do a full reset to reset menus, but I don't think 
you are
 there at this point.

 Help! From anyone who has a TS-480, I have mine stuck in menu 60
 where I can't get any VFO announcements.  I think it may require
 a QSO on the phone from some expert out there who can possibly
 talk me through resetting the menus hopefully without resitting
 the entire radio so I don't lose the stuff I have in memories.
