The selected menu item can be called up directly, making this

 

 

useful for menu functions that you often use.

61

Voice1

In addition to the automatic Voice Guide, you can have

 

 

frequency and other displayed data read out when you press a

 

 

PF key.

62

Voice2

S-meter reading is read out when you press a PF key.

 

 

 

63

RX monitor

The squelch can be forced open for as long as the PF key is

 

 

depressed. Useful for monitoring when setting CTCSS, etc.

64

RX DSP monitor

The TS-480 will receive using the widest passband available in

 

 

that mode for as long as the PF key is depressed. This is a

 

 

quick way to check on nearby interference.

65

Main encoder

You can lock the main encoder. This prevents unintentional

 

lock

operation of the encoder when the transceiver is being used in

 

a vehicle.

 

 

66

SEND key

There is no SEND key on the control panel, but this role can

 

 

be assigned to a PF key.

67

TX tuning

Irrespective of the current operating mode and power, this

 

 

function allows you to transmit a continuous carrier at a fixed

 

 

output. Useful for configuring external devices.

68

LSB/USB toggle

Toggle between LSB and USB when LSB (USB) is displayed.

 

 

 

69

CW/FSK toggle

Toggle between CW and FSK when CW (FSK) is displayed.
