Hi, Lou here.
In addition to John's comments, let me add that the 1 key switches the
filters for the 8.83 MHz I-F while the 2 key switches the filters for the
455 khz I-F. Also the speech button is at the bottom of the column of keys
immediately to the left of the vfo knob. The UP/DOWN band buttons are to
the right of the vfo knob, and the key above the right band button toggles
the band buttons between ham bands and 1 MHz steps. The two keys above the
left band button are your RIT and XIT buttons, but I can't remember which
is which. The keys above the MHz button are A=B, SPLIT, and A./B going
from bottom to top. The keys to the left of the A/B and SPLIT keys are
your Memory IN and Memory Recall buttons. I don't remember all of the
number keys on the number pad, but hopefully this will help you figure out
some more of the radio.

P.S. I have the TS-690S which is a 450 with 6 meters added, and I have
found it to be a little easier to operate than the TS-440S. I've had mine
for 11 years, and it has been a darn good radio.
