1Hz tuning,
Huh, so it is. I was looking at the specs as advertised on Universal
Radio. I assume that 1 Hz tuning is available via CAT without having
to use front panel controls.
IF DSP not desirable for digital
Hah,
Actually the 480 does have nice 500Hz filters so you can use this for
getting rid of signals. The beauty of the TS-480SAT is that it's a pure
analogue radio, the audio is good and pleasant to listen to.

I would go with the antenna, since your 480 does not need an interface, working
well with a direct connect from your sound
card to the rig data port. Use menu item 60 to see a VOX signal at the port.
I have also not had many problems with sound cards as supplied with computers,
especially if

The 480 is perhaps the best rig on the market right now for digi use,
in my not-so-humble opinion
Errr, 10Hz tuning, no IF DSP, no external reference input. Perhaps the
best for some unspecified definitions
1Hz tuning,
IF DSP not desirable for digital modes,
Rock-solid stable,
Remote-mount the radio head next to your monitor,
Excellent value for money (especially the 100watt version) - it's a Kenwood!

Hi All,
I am in the proceeds of purchasing a new piece of radio equipment.
I am tossing up between buying a new radio, new screwdriver antenna or a new
sound interface.
The first two are a lot more then the last.
But that depends on which one I decide to buy.
I had a look at the Rigblaster Pro,
Look at the microHam USB Interface III - soundcard and CAT in one package, I
have one and use it with my own TS-480SAT.

I continue to be puzzled as to why anyone would spend more than $50 on a
soundcard and/or CAT interface, when both can be built for about $10 in parts.
For the sound interface:
* two 8:500 audio transformers
* one 2n3904 transistor (for hard keying, if you don't want to just use the
rig's VOX)

See page 30 of the June QST for an inexpensive interface design and
circuit board. As of this date, 250 have been built and all worked
without any problems as far as I have been told. No SMT parts are used,
and soldering is easy, even for an old man like me. Cost of all parts is
less than $20
As was mentioned, construction may be impractical for many hams. In my
case, I have been soldering since around age 13 or so with my first
crystal radio kit and later many kits and dozens of projects over the
years, so it is not too difficult to make a simple interface.
Today, because of my

For many reasons I built my own and I feel it is foolish not to use an
optocoupler when you already use two transformers.
I am not happy with less than that. I use soundcard input and output
with stereo miniplugs and serial port keying with a DB9
female connector. I use another female DB9 for
