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.

73, de Lou K2LKK

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.
