Jim, I'd be interested in the answer to your question as well.  

Which model of the 480 do you have?  I bought my 480SAT from a friend for
$400 who had bought it a year or so ago, and other than hooking it up one
time,  had never used it.  I bought it specifically for use on six meters
only.  I drive my Commander legal limit amp, so the HX model wouldn't have
done me any good.  I am quite pleased with the radio, though I have never
tried it on HF, and under heavy QRM.  What is your opinion of the rig?

Does anyone know which menu number is auto mode on the TS-480?

Hi Jim,

That did the trick!  I guess I assumed that auto mode meant it 
would
automatically switch mode depending on the frequency.  I'll have 
to
read the manual section and find out exactly what auto mode does 
automatically.

Thanks and 73,

Dave, looks like you've turned on auto mode, menu 23.  It'll 
likely clear up
if you turn that off.  It's discussed in the manual, page 51.

Subject: TS-590 Default Mode

When I first received my TS-590, I think it defaulted to CW mode 
when
I entered a frequency in the CW portion of a band.  Now it seems 
to
default SSB mode when I key in a frequency regardless of where I 
am
going to in the band.  I've been through the menus and can't seem 
to
find a relevant setting.  Do any of you who have owned the TS-590 
for
a while have any idea what I might have changed?  I'm assuming
something did change and it isn't just my failing memory!  I'm 
about
98% CW, so it is a minor annoyance to have to change mode 
whenever I
key in a CW frequency.

73,
