I never ran into a Kenwood TS-790 before, but I was surprised by its nice design and spacious PCB layout. The reported defect didn’t leave much to my imagination: the radio didn’t lock on 2 meters. All I probably had to do was to focus on the VCO.
With the service manual in one hand and a multimeter in the other I tried to set the VCO voltage at what it should be, but that didn’t work out very well. The voltage was either zero or off the scale, and changes in voltage while turning the variable capacitor inside the VCO block didn’t make any sense.

Variable capacitors (or trimmers as we call them here) are known for their reliability, even when they’re old. There’s no wear and tear either; you set them once to align something and leave them alone. I never ran into a defective one before, hence had no reason to suspect this particular component. In the end I couldn’t do much else than to reconsider TC1 being the culprit, for the simple reason that all the other components in and around the VCO block proved to be fine.
How to recover deleted word documents mac. Feb 23, 2019 I can see the names of the documents, and move from document to document by clicking on the tabs. When I open multiple documents in Word (version 16.22) for Mac (10.14.3) - they all open in different windows and there is no easy way to see which ones are. In Office 2008 for Mac, you can move the cursor around your document without actually even touching the mouse. And if you really want to become a whiz with Word, you’ll want to memorize most or all of the following shortcuts. Here’s a table that shows how to move the cursor around a document.
After disassembling the VCO block I removed TC1 and measured it. It was fully short circuited, with just a few gaps while turning it. After replacing the part and re-assembling the VCO block I had no trouble getting the radio back on its feet again. While I was at it anyway I did a few other checks, but apart from some minor adjustments the radio was fine. Even the backup battery (prone to leaking) was still OK.

I’m still wondering about possible causes for a trimmer to die this way. Dust maybe, moisture? I just don’t know.
