Advanced Digital Technology for Everyone
K
enwood has brought the best of HF
DSP technology out of the clouds and into the hands of everyone with the new
TS-570D(G) and TS-570S(G) (HF+6m). The G series represents the latest
advancements in HF radio design from Kenwood, and is even available as an
upgrade to pre-existing TS-570 units.

Operator -Oriented Engineering Provides You
with the Highest Levels of Performance.
TX Audio Shaping
Scanning
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.
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.

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.
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
Extensive Memory Functions
You have a bank of 100 memories
available, with 90 assignable for
standard memories and
10 for programmable
VFO,
mode guidance, split frequency display and
digital filter selection options. The accompany-
ing analog meter provides S-readings, PWR,
COMP, SWR and ALC information.
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

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

to build a first-class base station

Transmitter Section
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.
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.

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 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.
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

The full-featured electronic keyer provides solid

inputs on the back — one for a paddle and one

Manual Weight feature where the relative length
of dots and dashes can be altered in 16 steps
between 1:2.5 and 1:4.0, or two types of Auto-
Weight — one that adjusts to the keying speed
automatically and one that works on a fixed
weight percentage. The Weight Reverse function
lessens the weight as the keying speed increases,
allowing for easier switching between keying
hands. And during CW message playback, the
paddle input can be prioritized with the Insert
Keying Settings function.
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. And dual antenna con-
nectors on the TS-570D(G) are an added conve-
nience. (The TS-570S(G) has one connector each for
HF and 6m.)

PC Control Option
You can integrate your TS-570 Series with a PC
via a 9-pin D-SUB and RS-232C interface. The
RCP-2 Radio Control Program also allows the HF
operator to set-up and program multiple radios,
and save the configuration data to disk.

During split-frequency operations you can
receive your transmit frequency with a touch of
the TF-Set button. The transmit frequency can
be changed, even if the receive frequency is
locked, as long as the button is held.
Packet & FSK
The packet filter bandwidth and AF input/out-
put levels are fully selectable. You can adjust the
ACC2 (PKD) input/output and ANO output
levels.
FSK features include selectable shift frequen-
cies between 170, 200, 425 and 850 Hz. The
KEY polarity and Hi/Low tones are switchable
to match your RTTY device (TU, MCP). The
FSK reverse function lets you match transmis-
sion methods to the other party if necessary, for
example changing the BFO frequency from LSB
(normal) to USB (reverse).
DRU-3A
The DRU-3A Digital Recording Unit is an avail-
able option that enhances contesting or general
operation.
Data Transfer
Memory settings can be transferred between radios
using the copy mode.
VOX Circuit
Other receiver section features include IF
Shift, Noise Blanker to eliminate pulse type
noise, AGC, All-Mode Squelch and RF Gain.
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.
CW Features
FM Features (Built-in)
In addition to the CW Auto Tune function, the
TS-570D/S(G) has a host of CW features often
found only on larger-class models. The full/semi
break-in switching and delay time settings are
fully adjustable. In semi break-in the delay time
between key release and active receive mode can
be set for between 50 milli-seconds and 1000
milli-seconds. When using VOX operation the
delay time can be set for between 150 milli-
seconds and 3000 milli-seconds. Other features
include CW side tone monitor and volume
setting, CW reverse mode and a 3 channel
CW message memory.
The TS-570D/S(G) has built-in CTCSS
functionality with 38 sub-tones settings plus
a 1750 Hz tone and switchable Narrow/Wide
deviation modes. The sub-tone can be
set for burst or continuous, depending
on the input requirements of the target
repeater system, and can be assigned to
any of the first 90 memory channels.
FM is not necessarily included in all
models.
