The FT-790RII is a synthesized uhf FM, SSB
ceiver designed for convenient portable, mobile or base station applications
on the 70cm amateur band. Up to
as a mobile or base when used with the FL-7025 clip-on linear amplifier,
or
2.5W
case and/or amplifier are optional in some countries). The lightweight
die-cast chassis and simple controls (just three knobs and ten keys) make
the FT-790RII ideal for emergencies as well as daily rugged multi-use
operation.
Operating conveniences include selectable, mode dependent channel steps,
dual
status (when optional tone unit is installed). Split frequency semi-duplex
operation between the two vfos is provided, as well as one touch reverse
for split memories and standard repeater splits. Scanning features include
manual and automatic up/down band, memory and selective memory scanning
from the tuning knob or supplied microphone, plus priority channel monitoring of any memory while operating on either vfo, and PMS (programmable memory scanning) between memories 1 and 2.An all mode noise
blanker and clarifier control are included, and semi break-in QSK is
provided for CW.
Please read this manual carefully to gain maximum enjoyment from your
FT-790RII.

CONTROLS & CONNECTORS
2.1 FRONT PANEL
(I)
VOUSQL
The inner VOL control includes the power switch (OFF = counterclockwise), and sets the audio volume of the receiver.
The outer SQL control sets the squelch threshold, above which received
signals will activate the audio amplifier and be heard in the speaker.
Scanning, if active, stops when the squelch opens, and the green BUSY
indicator glows. Turn this control fully counterclockwise to disable the
squelch. Normally, to squelch off noise, this control is set clockwise just
to the point where noise on a clear channel is silenced.
(2) Main Tuning Knob
(3) Function Keys
All front panel keys are active only during reception. The primary function
of each of the nine gray keys is marked on the key face. Seven of the
gray keys have alternate functions, marked on the panel above each, and
activated by the yellow key. Throughout this manual, the alternate function
of a key will be indicated by enclosing the name of that function in
parentheses 0, corresponding to the label on the panel above the key.
In certain operating situations, a function will be disabled, in which case
pressing the key will not result in an audible beep. Otherwise, all acceptable keystrokes will produce a beep.
