With ten memories and two VFOs, selectable 25 kHz or 100 kHz tuning rates, and priority channel functions all controllable manually or automatically via the scanner, the FT-730R leaves nothing out. Additionally, the FT-730R utilizes a large-digit Liquid Crystal Display with some new developments in optics permitting an unusually wide viewing angle and spectacular illumination for the ultimate in frequency and func- tion indication under all lighting environments. Tone Calling and Tone Squelch (or Hi/Lo power in European Models) are easily selected from the front panel. A lithium battery is included for memory backup with an estimated lifetime of 5 years or more. The extremely small size and light weight of the FT-730R make it a truly remarkable unit for the best in FM mobile operation today. We recommend that you read this manual in its entirety so as to understand clearly the many features of the exciting new FT-730R. With proper care in operation, this equipment will provide many years of reliable performance.
