[Kenwood] TS-570S(G)

Sat, 11 May 2002 20:38:14 -0400

Give that man a cigar!......Wayne has stumbled on to the answer. Its not
that the
noise blankers are not working, you guys just want miracle working. I have a
430 and the 570sg, the blankers work quite well on both, but only on
"pulsing"
types of noise, and if I am not mistaken thats exactly what the manuals on
both radios
refer to.
