Hello,
I've started to configure my TS-480SAT to work with RRC. Reading through manual I found a mismatch regarding JMP2 that will select 8 or 9V.
On the RRC-1258 MKII manual, pag 23:
"JMP-2 is used to select if the DC-power to the front panels should be 8 or 9 V. With the strap in place it will be 8V, which fits all ICOM radios. Without the strap the voltage will be 9V, which fits Kenwood TS-480 and RC-2000 panels that need 9V for the back-lighter"
So, for TS-480, I understand that JMP2 should not be connected.
On page 182, "Kenwood TS-480", first of all it should be a mistake regarding radios serial number:
"New radios with serial number from 70600056 are using Configuration type 1 and older radios with serial number below are using configuration type 2."
70600056 is not a serial number specific to TS-480 radios, for example my TS-480 serial number is starting with B48..... and it is manufactured in 2014, so I can consider is a new radio and should use "Configuration Type 1"
On this page, 182, on the table specific to Configuration Type 1, JMP2 is 1 (In place) that means we are using 8V for the front panel, but on page 23, for the same TS-480, it is specified JMP2 -> 0 (not connected).
Which one is the correct position ?
Thank you!
