TS-480SAT/HX
HF/50MHz All-Mode Transceiver



Tailor-made for DX’ing, the new TS-480HX HF transceiver raises the bar on mobile performance. Despite its compact dimensions, it delivers an astonishing punch: 200W with a DC 13.8V supply. Yet its separate control panel is perfect for base station use. Sharing virtually all the same powerful features is the 100W TS-480SAT, except that it boasts a built-in antenna tuner. Whichever model you choose, you can be sure of enjoying the best of both worlds — first-rate communications at home and on the trail.
