GENERAL

DESCRIPTION

The

FT-480R

is

a

revolutionary.

high

performance

USB.

LSB.

FM,

and

CW

transceiver

for

the

most

demanding

2-meter

operator.

Controlled

by

a

NMOS

4-bit

microprocessor,

the

FT-480R

features

full

PLL

synthesis

in

10

Hz.

100

Hz,

|

kHz.

20

kHz

(US

model),

and

100

kHz

steps.

The

extremely

compact

size

of

the

FT-480R

makes

this

model

particularly

well

suited

for

mobile

use.

The

microprocessor

chip

allows

never-before-possible

operating

flexibility.

As

many

as

four

memory

channels

may

be

programmed

to

your

favorite

frequencies,

and

by

switching

to

the

MEMORY

SCAN

position,

all

four

memory

channels

will

be

scanned.

Digital

display

of

the

operating

frequency

is

provided.

The

front

panel

meter

consists

of

a

string

of

bright

LED’s,

for

easy

monitoring

of

the

received

signal

strength

and

transmitter

output.

The

standard

microphone

features

a

PIT

switch

and

up/down

scanning

controls

plus

a

tone

call

button

for

repeater

operation.

Among

the

convenience

features

of

your

FT-480R

are

receiver

offset

tuning

for

CW

and

SSB,

and

a

digitally

synthesized

dual

VFO

system.

We

recommend

that

you

read

this

manual

in

its

entirety,

so

as

to

derive

maximum

benefit

from

your

new

FT-480R,

The

FT-480R

has

been

designed

for

ease

of

opera-

tion.

However,

the

operator

may

not

be

familiar

with

some

controls

since

the

FT-480R

utilizes

modern

computer

technology.

Be

sure

you

thor-

oughly

the

function

of

each

control

indicator

before

operating

this

equipment.

(1)

SQL

The

the

receiver

in

the

absence

of

a

signal

on

FM.

It

should

be

to

the

point

where

the

background

noise

just

disappears,

in

order

to

provide

maximum

sensitivity.

(2)

ANTENNA

CONSIDERATIONS

The

FT-480R

is

designed

for

operation

using

an

antenna

presenting

a

50

ohm

resistive

load.

The

automatic

final

transistor

protection

circuitry

will

reduce

the

power

output

to

protect

the

transistors

when

a

high

antenna

SWR

is

encountered.

The

SWR

on

the

antenna

should,

if

possible,

be

kept

below

1.5

:

1

at

all

times

to

secure

full

output

from

the

transceiver.

In

most

cases,

coverage

is

a

function

of

antenna

height.

The

antenna

for

base

station

operation

should

be

located

as

high

and

in

the

clear

as

possible.

Vertical

polarization

is

standard

for

FM

communications

in

most

areas,

so

be

sure

that

your

antenna

is

oriented

appropriately.

Popular

anten-

nas

for

base

station

use

include

the

5/8

wavelength

vertical

or

one

of

the

many

stacked

dipole

arrays.

For

accessing

repeaters

a

long

distance

away,

a

Yagi

or

other

high

gain

directional

array

may

be

vertical,

which shows

Do

not

For

type

of

MOBILE

INSTALLATION

For

mobile

service,

the

FT-480R

should

be

in-

stalled

where

the

digital

display,

controls,

and

microphone

are

easily

accessible

for

operation.

The

transceiver

may

be

installed

in

any

position

without

loss

of

performance.

A

suitable

location

would

be

atop

the

transmission

tunnel.

A

universal

bracket

is

supplied

with

your

transceiver

for

mobile

installation.

Use

the

universal

mounting

bracket

as

a

template

for

positioning

the

mounting

holes.

Use

a

3/16”

diameter

bit

for

drilling

these

holes,

allowing

clearance

for

the

transceiver,

its

cables

and

microphone,

and

its

controls.

Secure

the

mounting

bracket

with

the

screws,

washers,

and

nuts

supplied,

as

shown

in

the

drawing.

Ease

the

transceiver

into

the

guide

rail,

and

slide

it

into

the

desired

position.

Tighten

the

knobs

on

the

outside

of

the

universal

bracket

to

secure

the

transceiver.

The

microphone

hanger

may

be

installed

wherever

convenient

for

access

to

the

micro-

phone.

Power

connections

should

be

made

directly

to
