It is my opinion, and only my opinion, that the 480 is the most accessible
rig out there.  That being said, I think any of the Kenwoods are cool.

Take care and very 73.

Hi,

I have the TS480, also and I love it and have no plans to upgrade.  However,
I do have a visually impaired friend who is considering the 480.  Should he
give the 870 a look as well?  Can anyone compare the two radios for me, so I
can pass this info on to him?

Thanks much.  And, no, I have not tried using the split feature either, so
can be of no help in that area.

73
