Operator -Oriented Engineering Provides You

with the Highest Levels of Performance.

TX Audio Shaping

You have 3 ways of tailoring your transmit audio with DSP: Voice Equalizer, Transmit Equalizer and Speech Processor functions, plus you can use the new 9-step TX sound quality monitor volume for precision control. On SSB and AM you can choose between 2 types of Voice Equalizer transmit frequency response set- tings according to your microphone and operat- ing requirements. The Transmit Equalizer offers 4 frequency response settings on SSB, FM and AM: high boost for improved clarity, bass boost for stronger sound, formant pass to minimize extraneous sounds, and conventional mode for an ‘analog’ sound. The Speech Processor works across three bands (SSB, FM and AM) for high compression and minimal distortion. By com- bining the Speech Processor gain settings with the Transmit Equalizer, you are able to shape your voice for virtually any application, plus it is now available for RX as well, complete with its own independent settings.

CW Auto Tune — a World first

Now you no longer have to adjust the VFO while operating on CW — the CW Auto Tune function does it for

you automatically by adjusting the VFO to your preset pitch at the touch of a button. In the

new G models the CW

auto tune mode links only with the RIT frequency without changing the

transmit frequency so

incoming traffic can be tracked even if it is slightly off frequency.

provide a positive tactile feedback, frequencies can be directly entered

on the 10-key pad, and radio controls can be customized by assigning specific menus, features, or panel switches to the Programmable Function (PF) key. And of course, Kenwood’s Fine mode allows 1 Hz steps on the VFO dial for precise manual tuning.

Extensive Memory Functions You have a bank of 100 memories available, with 90 assignable for standard memories and

10 for programmable VFO,

Scanning

The TS-570D/S(G) has a wealth of scanning capabilities including variable speed with time- based or carrier-based resume modes, channel scan, group channel scan, all except locked out channels, or it can be programmed to scan a fre- quency range between two channels. The scan- hold function stops the scanning for 5 seconds.

Large LCD

The amber-colored backlight LCD frequency display is large, with a 4-stage dimmer, and is laid out in a clear and informative manner. The 7-digit alphanumeric sub-display provides menu

mode guidance, split frequency display and digital filter selection options. The accompany- ing analog meter provides S-readings, PWR, COMP, SWR and ALC information.

Optimal Sizing

The 10-5/8 X 3-3/4 inch panel size make the TS-570D/S(G) suitable for any

mobile operation, yet its large display and sophisticated user features make it a perfect candidate to build a first-class base station

with. This versatility means that you only need one radio for all your home and field

operations.

Operator-Engineered Features

The TS-570D/S(G) represents the latest advancements in the human-machine interface as applied to radio transceiver design. Kenwood engineers have achieved a fine balance between size, features, display, controls and performance to deliver a transceiver that will give you out- standing results regardless of your operating style or location.

New Menu and User Features

There are 46 types of menu features to assist both the novice and expert operator. The On- line Guide feature provides information on a scrolling sub-display so you won’t need to refer to the manual, the click encoder and entry keys

programmable scan and long- term memory

functions. The scroll function lets you browse memory contents, memory channel copy sends the contents of one channel to another, lock-out memory changes the scan map to exclude certain channels, and memory shift alters the frequency stored in a channel. In addition, there are 5 ‘quick’ memories to capture a current operation ‘on-the-fly’, available in SSB, CW, FM, AM and FSK modes — ideal for contest operation.

High Performance

Transmitter Section

The heavy-duty transmitter makes the TS-570D/S(G) ideal for contesting, mobiling and FSK applications, delivering between 5 and 100 watts in 5 watt increments. The large heatsink and high-capacity cooling fan system designed specifically for this model enables continuous operation under a wide range of environmental conditions.

High frequency stability is achieved with a one-point frequency control system that uses a single crystal to control all internal oscillating frequencies (except in FM mode). Stability can even be raised to a pro-grade +/- 0.5 PPM (within 7 Hz on the 14 MHz band) with the optional SO-2 TCXO.
