On my TM-D700 I use a Comet Z-750 for around town use (to clear my 
garage and the garage at work) and an SBB-7 during public service 
events/traveling cross country.  They have worked well for me for years 
on APRS and voice:

I have an IC-706MKIIG, but for HF work it's hard to beat a TarHeel.  I 
have a Little TarHeel II on my truck and it works great!  Note, I am a 
casual HF user, not a contestor or DX chaser.

For tuning I use a Turbo Tuner that adjusts the antenna rather than a 
standard tuner.  Their web sites shows a version for the TS-480.  I have 
no knowledge of how well it works with the Kenwood.

See my QRZ page for pictures of the antenna install.

Hope this helps.
