TS-480S Problem
I've the above mentioned rig, when I power it on
the LED's light up (all of them on the display) and about 20% of them are flickering randomly. It is stuck in CW mode, and any button that is pressed doesn't do it. Can't change modes, can't do anything. I don't have a manual and mods.dk doesn't have one listed so I know how to perform a reset on the rig (if possible) Any ideas are appreciated. r/ _IanCT_ |

I don't have a manual and mods.dk doesn't have one
listed so I know how to perform a reset on the rig Ian- I don't recall that model. Is it possible the TS-480S is a typo? Might it be a 430 or 680? Either way, your description of the problem makes me think of a CPU that is hung-up. You might try exercising a master reset, but you might need the manual to do that. Often a reset is done by holding down a particular button or combination of buttons while turning on the power. Another thought is that your CMOS memory battery is almost dead, but not quite! 73, Fred, K4DII |

My mistake. It is a TS-430S. I have a TS-680 as well but got a little
dyslexic...  I was thinking of the master reset, but I don't know the button combination. I'm trying different combos, no luck. Thanks! "Fred McKenzie" wrote in message ...
