Ken,

Which TS-480 do you have.  There is the TS-480SAT, manual page 20 shows 
how to set transmit power, THEN there TS-480HX - and it also happens to 
be on page 20 of the manual.

I had to download both and look through the manuals.  My mistake!

I don't have one, so I can't fire it into the SM-220!
