The connection is a rj12, lo9oks like rj11, but has 6 conductors.  The mike
and paddle connect to the body of the radio, I don't know why.
Its suppozed to work perfectly with remote rig.
Get the internal CW IF filter and it comes alive in that mode.
Change the weight time in the menus, if you key over 25 WPM.
It’s a great radio!!!  Not perfect, but very good for the money.
A friend of mine reversed the dial on his control head, which made it feel
much more comfortable in a car, I can't figure out how he did it.

Subject: Kenwood TS-480SAT in a mobile installation

Hi all: 

There's a TS-480SAt for sale in my area and I'm giving thoughts to possibly
jumping on  it. I'd think it would make a great mobile rig plus remote
station. 
Of course to remote it, I'd need the remote rig package but in a mobile
installation, can you key the transceiver in voice and CW by connecting a
mic and paddle to the remote head or do you have to employ extention cables
for the mic and paddles and all you get with the remote head is control and
received audio through its RJ-11 connection?

Put off the chinese radios, the dealer I bought my HT from is liquidating
his stock and the 45W mobile I was interested in is being shoved out the
door for 150. Red flag. LOL I'm just gonna get my Yaesu FT-1900R which
doesn't require a computer to program or some chinese to english program
that may or not work.
