Radio is approximately one year old, but I've had it just over a month. I'd rate its condition at 10 electronically and 9.8 cosmetically (simply because it's not still sealed in its shipping plastic). Package deal includes everything that comes with the radio except the mounting bracket for the main unit. Also included is the $35 serial-to-USB cable needed to use the TS-480 with a computer (control software can be downloaded free from Kenwood).
There's technically nothing wrong with this radio. I'm selling it because I'm a bigot; I believe all conventional HF radios should have DSP in the IF stages. If correctly used, IF DSP tames even the worst QRN 75m can throw at you on a summers eve. I say that being a SWL since 1967. The TS-480SAT is a 100-watt HF/6m rig with a built-in automatic antenna tuner. I'm asking $750. Would really rather not ship, but we can discuss that. I do all business by email, and am good on QRZ.COM. Scott Royall, W5RUA
