THANK YOU

Thank you for choosing the KENWOOD TS-570 series. This Intelligent Digital Enhanced Communications System was developed by a team of engineers determined to continue the tradition of excellence and innovation in KENWOOD HF transceivers.

This transceiver includes a 16-bit Digital Signal Processing (DSP) unit to process audio frequencies. By taking maximum advantage of DSP technology the transceiver gives you enhanced interference reduction capabilities and improves the quality of audio that you transmit. You will find the differences when you fight QRM and QRN in the new solar cycle. As you learn how to use this transceiver, you also will find KENWOOD is pursuing “user friendliness”. For example, each time you change the Menu No. in Menu mode, you will see, on the display, scrolling messages that tell what you are selecting.

Though user friendly, this transceiver is technically sophisticated and some features may be new to you. Consider this manual to be a personal tutorial from the designers. Allow the manual to guide you through the learning process now, then act as a reference in the coming years.
