TS-790A/EAll-Mode TransceiverThis article is retrieved from the home page of Kenwood
Demonstrating the full potential of an all-mode transceiver equipped with advanced electronics, the powerful TS-790A/E sets the pace in terms of both features and performance. As well as dual-channel watch and full-duplex cross-band operation, it offers 59 multi-function memory channels. And when equipped with the optional 23-cm band unit, it offers tri-band coverage for maximum versatility. Feature for feature, there's no better way to explore the expanding world of VHF and UHF communications. Features at a glance:
TS-790A/E: In DetailUp to 45 watts of RF output powerIn CW and FM modes, the TS-790A/E provides 45 watts (2 m) or 40 watts (70 cm) of power. RF output with the optional UT-10 (23 cm) unit is 10 watts.High-sensitivity receiverOur GaAs FET RF amplifier and improved antenna switching circuit enhance sensitivity and expand dynamic range across the entire frequency spectrum.All-mode operationYou can instantly choose from USB, LSB, CW, CW (Narrow), and FM modes. International Morse Code confirms the selected mode.Dual-channel watch function with dual mutingThe TS-790A/E can simultaneously receive 2 m and 70 cm bands, 2 m and 23 cm bands, or 70 cm and 23 cm bands. Optimum receiver performance is assured thanks to the 12 dB audio output attenuator, which can be switched into the main-band and sub-band circuits.Band exchange function (main/sub)Adjacent MAIN and SUB keys on the front panel facilitate selection of the desired band. Pressing the band exchange key automatically switches between main and sub bands.Optional CTCSS tone decoder* for main and sub bandsThe optional TSU-5 programmable tone decoder unit provides 37-tone CTCSS operation for a total of 38 sub-tone frequencies (the encoder includes a 97.4Hz tone). These may be selected using the main knob or UP/DOWN keys on the microphone.*Available for TS-790A only Satellite communications with frequency correctionYou can program offset frequencies for improved communications with satellites.59 multi-function memory channels with lithium battery back-upFor greater convenience and operating ease, the TS-790A/E offers 59 memory channels to store information on frequency, mode, tone, offset and Quick-Step tuning. 10 split memory channels store transmit and receive frequencies independently for repeater or split-frequency operations.Memory scroll and memory shiftThe memory scroll function can be used to check memory channel data or to find a vacant channel on the display without changing operating frequency or mode. Also, when a frequency is recalled from memory, rotating the VFO knob automatically restores VFO control beginning at the recalled frequency.Convenient scan functionsIn addition to band scan, the TS-790A/E provides memory scan for all 59 memory channels; programmable memory channel lock-out allows selected channels to be skipped without data loss. Other features include programmable band scan (for frequencies stored in memory), as well as 2 scan stop modes: carrier-operated (stops on a busy channel for as long as the signal is present) and time-operated (stops for 5 seconds on each busy channel).Other Features:
