Kenwood TS-570D(G) manual Hot Receiver Section, CW Features, Packet & FSK, FM Features Built-in

The Feature Packed TS-570D(G)/TS-570S(G) is

the Perfect Choice for Any and All Requirements.

Hot Receiver Section

The wide-band receiver covers from 500 kHz through 30 MHz continuously with high selec- tivity and sensitivity. The two built-in pre-amps

(one each for high band and low band) allow you to select better sensitivity or higher IMD performance, and the dedicated 7 MHz and

14 MHz bandpass filters deliver improved SW intermodulation rejection.

During split-frequency operations you can receive your transmit frequency with a touch of the TF-Set button. The transmit frequency can be changed, even if the receive frequency is locked, as long as the button is held.

Other receiver section features include IF Shift, Noise Blanker to eliminate pulse type noise, AGC, All-Mode Squelch and RF Gain.

CW Features

In addition to the CW Auto Tune function, the TS-570D/S(G) has a host of CW features often found only on larger-class models. The full/semi break-in switching and delay time settings are fully adjustable. In semi break-in the delay time between key release and active receive mode can be set for between 50 milli-seconds and 1000 milli-seconds. When using VOX operation the delay time can be set for between 150 milli- seconds and 3000 milli-seconds. Other features include CW side tone monitor and volume setting, CW reverse mode and a 3 channel CW message memory.

Built-in Keyer

The full-featured electronic keyer provides solid and reliable keying at any speed with dual key inputs on the back — one for a paddle and one for a key. You can choose between the new Manual Weight feature where the relative length of dots and dashes can be altered in 16 steps between 1:2.5 and 1:4.0, or two types of Auto- Weight — one that adjusts to the keying speed automatically and one that works on a fixed weight percentage. The Weight Reverse function lessens the weight as the keying speed increases, allowing for easier switching between keying hands. And during CW message playback, the paddle input can be prioritized with the Insert Keying Settings function.

Packet & FSK

The packet filter bandwidth and AF input/out- put levels are fully selectable. You can adjust the ACC2 (PKD) input/output and ANO output levels.

FSK features include selectable shift frequen- cies between 170, 200, 425 and 850 Hz. The KEY polarity and Hi/Low tones are switchable to match your RTTY device (TU, MCP). The FSK reverse function lets you match transmis- sion methods to the other party if necessary, for example changing the BFO frequency from LSB (normal) to USB (reverse).

FM Features (Built-in)

The TS-570D/S(G) has built-in CTCSS functionality with 38 sub-tones settings plus a 1750 Hz tone and switchable Narrow/Wide deviation modes. The sub-tone can be

set for burst or continuous, depending on the input requirements of the target repeater system, and can be assigned to any of the first 90 memory channels.

FM is not necessarily included in all models.

Other Features

Automatic Antenna Tuner

The built-in Automatic Antenna Tuner is preset for immediate matching at 18 points between the 1.8 and 28 MHz Amateur bands. And dual antenna con- nectors on the TS-570D(G) are an added conve- nience. (The TS-570S(G) has one connector each for HF and 6m.)

VS-3

The VS-3 option provides a synthesized voice out- put to aid visually-impaired operators or as an added measure of convenience and safety for mobile operators.

PC Control Option

You can integrate your TS-570 Series with a PC via a 9-pin D-SUB and RS-232C interface. The RCP-2 Radio Control Program also allows the HF operator to set-up and program multiple radios, and save the configuration data to disk.

DRU-3A

The DRU-3A Digital Recording Unit is an avail- able option that enhances contesting or general operation.

Data Transfer

Memory settings can be transferred between radios using the copy mode.

VOX Circuit

In SSB, FM and AM modes the transmitter can be activated by voice, with a fully selectable delay time and gain.

Linear Amplifier Control

An external Linear Amplifier can be controlled via the menu and the remote jack control relay.

Advanced Technology Upgrade is available in new production models and for pre-existing TS-570D/S; contact your dealer for details.
