i
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.
