•By pressing the MODE key (0 key), you can
change the mode. The modes available are USB
and LSB mode. When the MODE key is pressed
while in USB mode, the mode is changed to LSB.
When the MODE key is pressed while in LSB
mode, the mode is changed to USB. This
changeover can be confirmed by the Morse beep
transmitted from the HF radio.
•If the MODE key is pressed while in modes other
than USB or LSB, the MODE will not be changed.
OTHER FUNCTIONS
nRIT Function
The RIT function controls RIT ON/OFF, RIT
frequency UP/DOWN, and RIT CLR. For the
meaning of these keys, see KEYPAD
FUNCTIONS on page 4.
nVoice Frequency Read-Back
If the HF transceiver is equipped with the
(optional) VS-3 voice unit (recommended), you
can listen to and confirm the HF transceiver status
with the announcement by voice.
EXAMPLE:
•You can confirm the frequency after a direct
frequency entry.
•You can confirm the contents of a M.CH
during memory channel operation.
CMD does not display the frequency, or other
status, of the HF transceiver. Thus, the VS-3
installation is very effective, and is highly
recommended for comfortable operation.
If the voice read-back is too weak, adjust the VS-3
level control in the HF transceiver (see the HF
transceiver instruction manual).
Note: When VFO A and VFO B on the TS-570D(G)/S(G) are
switched, the Voice Synthesizer automatically announces the
frequency on the newly selected VFO. Sending a Voice
command will cause the Voice Synthesizer to stop the
announcement.
nBUSY Control Function
•When using the TS-570D(G)/S(G) system, you
can operate the BUSY control with the HF
transceiver SQ. The TRP will transmit only
when the HF transceiver SQ is opened in the
RX ON status. This will allow you to avoid
unnecessary TRP transmissions.
•When using this system, the TRP will continue
to transmit on the 144 MHz band according to
the RX ON command from the CMD, in spite of
the SQ being closed on the HF transceiver.
•When you direct-enter the HF transceiver
frequency from the CMD, the HF radio mode does
not change (from 7 MHz to 14 MHz, for example).
Change the HF transceiver mode with the MODE
key.
•If you already have favorite frequencies, it is a
good idea to input them in memory. This allows
for quick frequency change.
•BUSY Control Function
When you press the RX ON key on the CMD, and
the HF transceiver SQ is closed, you will receive
only the 144 MHz carrier signal without any voice
signal.
