TS-570D/S (G)
HF TRANSCEIVER



 
KENWOOD
TS-570 delivers absolute leading edge of radio technology. It represents a new era in the KENWOOD HF transceivers history.

AF-stage Digital Signal Processing
* Interference Reduction
AF-stage DSP provides extensive control over received signals by identifying and filtering interference using digital algorithms. In SSB/AM/FM modes you can select Hi/Low cut DSP slope tune. In CW and FSK, the DSP acts as a VBT (Variable Band Tuning) that alters passband width.
* Noise Reduction
The DSP provides 2 types of noise reduction - the Line Enchancer method (NR1) for SSB/AM and the SPAC (Speech Processing by Auto Correlation) method (NR2) for CW. In addition the DSP Beat Cancel function suppresses multiple beats on SSB, FM and AM immediately upon detection.
* TX Audio snapping
You can tailor your transmit audio by 3 different ways with DSP: by Voice Equalizer, Transmit Equalizer and the Speech Processor. On SSB and AM you can choose 2 types of Voice Equalizer transmit frequency response setting according to your microphone and operating 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 "analog" sound. The Speech Processor works across three bands (SSB, FM and AM) for high compression and minimal distortion.
* CW Auto tune - World's 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.
* G-version has:
- New CW filters - 80 Hz, 150 Hz and 500 Hz
- 11 user selectable filters in total.
- TX sound quality monitor with 9-step monitor volume
- NR1 (SSB) controllable in 9-step increments, or auto track mode
-NR1 and NR2 settings can now re-configure automatically when   changing mode groups
- Manual weight feature CW key
- use different settings of equalizer for both TX and RX
- Dual selectable Beat Cancel (BC)
- CW auto tune mode links only with RIT frequency without changing the transmit frequency

Operator-Engineered Features
The TS-570 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 outstanding results regardless of your operating style or location.

Scanning
Scan speed is variable and can be set for time-based or carrier-based resume. The scanner can work across  all channels, groups of 10 channels, all except locked out channels, or it can be programmed to scan a frequency 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 accompanying analog meter provides S-readings, PWR, COMP, SWR and ALC information.
 
New MENU and user features

There are 46 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.

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. There are 5 "quick" memories to capture a current operation "on-the-fly", available in SSB, CW, AM, FM and FSK modes.

High performance transmitter and receiver sections
The TS570 has continuos-duty 100 watt RF output transmitter incorporates large heatsink with integrated cooling fan for non-stop operation. The wide band receiver from 500Khz to 30 Mhz (to 52 Mhz S model) with dual preamplifiers and dual bandpass filters for exceptional selectivity and dynamic range.

Other features

* Automatic Antenna Tuner
The built-in Automatic Antenna Tuner is preset for immediate matching at 18 points between the 1.8 and 28 MHz Amateur bands through 18 sub-bands.
* PC Control option
You have the ability to integrate the operation of TS570 with a PC via RS232 interface. Free control software RCP2 is available from ftp://ftp.kenwood.net
* Data Transfer
Memory settings can be transferred can be transferred between radios using the copy mode.
* VOX Circuit
In SSB, FM and AM modes the transmitter can be activated by voice, with a fully selectable delay time and gain.
*Linear Amplifier Control
An external Linear Amplifier can be controlled via the menu and the remote jack control relay.
