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.
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.
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.
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
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,
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.
