I was thinking, maybe try to update the ts-480 firmware. If it has the
latest update, no harm.
If it was made with out the last update, it will be updated.
The last update is ts480_104.exe.

Subject: Question about Auto Antenna Tuners
Hi, Folks. I have a TS480SAT which has a built-in auto tuner. Had one of
my ham buddies come over and test the setup he and his buddies put up, an
UltraLight Junior dipole strung between two trees and my house. We noticed
that on 3.550MHZ, we were getting 4-1 SWr, egen though the antenna can go
down that far - 80-10 meters. Above 3.8MHZ, the antenna tunes up.
My question is: if I buy an external auto tuner, will I have more
flexibility in getting a match. Are the the built-in tuners mor limited
than the external ones? And what accessible tuner would you recommend if
there is a difference?Thanks in advance.--Matt, N1IBB.
