QUICK DATA TRANSFER

1
This transceiver has the capability to quickly and
conveniently transfer the receive frequency and mode to
another compatible transceiver. Compatible
transceivers include:
2
• TS-570S/570D
• TS-870S
3
• TS-950SDX
Data Transfer could be useful while contesting. A
spotting station that is searching for new contest
multipliers can quickly transfer a frequency over to the
4
running (main) station.

SETTING UP

Equipment Needed

In addition to a compatible transceiver, the following
equipment is required:
6
Transfer to TS-570 or TS-870S:
• One cross-wired cable
7
This cable must have a 9-pin RS-232C female
connector at both ends.
Transfer to a transceiver other than TS-570 and
TS-870S:
8
• KENWOOD IF-232C interface unit
• One cross-wired cable
This cable must have a 9-pin RS-232C female
9
connector at one end and a 25-pin RS-232C
female connector at the other end.
• One straight cable
10
This cable must have a 6-pin DIN male connector
at both ends.

Connections

For diagrams on how to connect the two
transceivers, see "CONNECTING PERIPHERAL
EQUIPMENT " {page 60}.

USING QUICK TRANSFER

When connecting with another TS-570 or the TS-870S,
13
use the same COM connector baud rate on each
transceiver. If transferring to or from other KENWOOD
transceivers, select 4800 bps and 2 stop bits on the
TS-570. Use Menu No. 35 to select these parameters.
14
Note: While transferring data, other functions may work slowly.

Transferring Data

The TS-570 transceiver works as the Master
sending data to the Slave transceiver.
1 Switch ON the Transfer function on each
transceiver.
• On the TS-570, access Menu No. 36 and
select ON. For the compatible transceiver,
check the instruction manual that came with
the transceiver.
2 On the Master, while in VFO mode, select an
operating frequency and mode.
3 On the Master, press QUICK MEMO [M.IN].
• When using another TS-570 as the Slave,
"CTRL" appears on the Slave.
• The displayed data is stored in Quick memory
channel 1 on the Master and transferred to
the Slave.
Note: If the Master has RIT switched ON, the offset frequency
is added to the receive frequency to be transferred.

Receiving Data

The TS-570 transceiver works as the Slave,
receiving data from the Master transceiver. The
Slave can receive data using either Quick memory
channel 1 or the VFO.
1 Switch ON the Transfer function on each
transceiver.
• On the TS-570, access Menu No. 36 and
select ON. For the compatible transceiver,
check the instruction manual that came with
the transceiver.
2 On the Slave, access Menu No. 37 and select
either OFF (Quick memory channel 1) or ON
(the VFO).
• The default is Quick memory.
3 On the Master, perform the appropriate operation
to send data.
• For the correct method, check the instruction
manual that came with the transceiver.
Note:
If you always use the TS-570 just to receive, activate TX
Inhibit via Menu No. 38 to avoid unintentional transmission.
When the Slave receives data using the VFO programmed
with a simplex frequency, the received data replaces the data
on both VFOs. On the Slave, both RIT and XIT are set to
OFF.
When the Slave receives data using the VFOs programmed
with split frequencies, the received data replaces the data
only on the TX side of the VFO. On the Slave, XIT is set to
OFF but RIT is not changed.
