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.
