On the first two questions Yes.
You are talking about switching sidebands, rather than actually using the
sideband filters as I thought.
Active elements and I can work this thing have all the information you will
probably ever want or need about this great radio.
If you are going to run CW, invest in one of the optional CW filters.
It will transform this radio on CW.
I put the 270 HZ filter in mine.
Their may be reasons to choose the 500 HZ one instead, but I don't know what
they are.
When you switch sidebands, the interference will switch sidebands to.
With the filter width going down to 50 HZ, their isn't much you can't filter
out.
In the menus there are settings to switch to CW when you tap the key, and to
adjust the offset so you are listening on the same exact frequency.
Very handy.

Subject: Forcing TS480SAT into LSB when Using CW
Hi, Folks. Am getting used to working my TS480SAT, getting comfortable with
the controls before my antennas go up. I have a few
questions:
1. If I want to go to LSB while in CW mode on any band, can I force the rig
into that mode? I ask that because I might want to go LSB if I get lots of
interference or noise on a given frequency. I noticed that when I was on 20
meters and selecting modes, the rig wouldn't go to LSB.
2. I plan to try and access some 6-meters around my area, or maybe even
10-meter repeaters. Can I store splits in memories as one would with VHF
radios?
3. Finally, I have the interface (USB TO DB-9) cable I bought from RT
Systems. It shows up in Device Manager as COM9. However, when I tried to
use this cable with the Kenwood ARCP program, it didn't see the radio.
Anyone else have trouble with this? I've been reluctant to buy USB to
serial cables, because they are not all reliable.
Any help here regarding the above would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in
advance.--Matt, N1IBB/AG
