Well, I got my 480 the end of 2010 so I guess it's up to date.

You can bring up the version number on the display if you have a pair of eyes to read it. If you go here: http://www.kenwood.com/i/products/info/amateur/software_download. html you can click on the link for the firmware update program for the 480 and see a list of what was added in each update, as well as full instructions. 73, Steve KW3A On 7/15/2012 9:49 PM, Jim Gammon wrote: Thanks Howard, I think the first thing I will do is call HRO and ask them which firmware I have in my 480.

Then you follow the instructions which include taking off the top cover, finding a little slide switch, moving it, hooking the ts480 up to a computer with the cereal port and a cord, and running the software update program. I can't remember more than that, its been maybe four years, and I have no idea what I did yesterday. Oldtimers desease I guess. I can look for more info, but maybe somebody else can add to my information.
