TS-480 and TS-2000 are all-mode multiband H F /5 0 MH z all-mode transceivers that require a license from the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications Amateur Radio Station. They are high-performance compact HF machines with the capability to enjoy HF DX. Features include HF transmit output of 200W using a 13.8V power supply, a built-in automatic antenna tuner for operation from 1.9MHz to 50MHz, a quad mixer for the reception circuit, and AF DSP for interference/noise elimination.
The manual describes the Kenwood TS-480 series (HX, DAT, VAT, SAT) and the TS-2000 all‑mode transceiver. It covers high‑performance features such as 200 W HF output, built‑in automatic antenna tuner, DSP noise reduction, and optional network control programs for remote operation.
It also provides detailed installation guidance, power‑supply requirements, panel operation, and safety notices for both handheld and vehicle‑mounted use, along with accessory part numbers and pricing information. This manual is written in Japanese.
