Hello,
I've noticed that the TS-480 head light is flashing when I increase the AF volume.
With AF vol at 9 o'clock the light is constant, no flashing, as I increase the volume the more intense is the light flashing.
I don't remember to see this behavior in the past.
Any idea ?
Thank you

Have you used a different power supply unit for your Control-RRC? Try a stronger power supply unit...

No, is the one recommended for RRC,bought together RRC + power supply from Remoterig.com

Buy a stronger power supply unit then. Alternatively, use an amplified speaker and plug it to the jack on the head unit of the TS-480. Plugging it there will disable the built-in speaker of the head unit and the flashing of the display will stop.
Have a look at the power supply unit and see how many amps it is good for. If I recall correctly the one for Control-RRC should be rated for at least 1 Amp (but I may be wrong). I bought one on eBay, very inexpensive, that is rated for I think 5 Amp and I power other stuff with it, too. No more flickering... :-)

Also make sure the jumper JMP2 inside of the RRC is set for 9v.
