Jim,

If you want s meter, you would need to set the pf key (menu 48) 
to 62.
   Then you would have to do a kind of backhanded way to get 
freq, such
as hitting menu key twice to get in and out of menu mode and have 
it
read freq as it goes back to vfo mode.  There may be other keys 
that
will also do this, but I use the menu key.

73, glad it works, Steve KW3A

 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.
