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.

FEATURES

Taking full advantage of DSP technology, this

transceiver

Provides high performance receive filters.

Enhances the Beat Cancel and Noise Reduction

tools.

Allows total customization of transmitted audio

through the use of functions such as the Transmit

Equalizer.

Enables Automatic Zero-beating for CW operation.

To pursue user friendliness, this transceiver

When in Menu mode, scrolls messages to tell you

what you are selecting.

Allows you to quickly and easily save the current

transceiver settings in Quick memory.

Is equipped with a large, easy to read LCD display.

WRITING CONVENTIONS FOLLOWED

The writing conventions described below have been

followed to simplify instructions and avoid unnecessary

repetition. This format is less confusing for the reader.

Reviewing the following information now will reduce

your learning period. That means less time will be

spent reading this manual; more time will be available

for operating.

Furthermore, a system of advisories is used as follows:

WARNING!

Possibility of personal injury

CAUTION:

Possibility of equipment damage

Note:

Important information or operating tip

Note:

Basic procedures are numbered sequentially to guide you

step-by-step. Additional information pertaining to a step, but not

essential to complete the procedure, is provided in bulleted form

following many steps.
