[Kenwood] practice in CW with TS-570D

Yes, you just plug the paddles into the large keyer jack on the back of your
radio..

With the radio in any mode you can key away and practice your sending, you
can use menu position 21
to control the sidetone volume.

Of course if you go to the CW mode with the radio
VOX button activated you will go out over the air.

This gives you QSK or break in operation which is
the most fun on CW...

The keyer in the radio is an Iambic B mode keyer...

The bug or straight key goes into the small jack, be careful of this 1/8"
jack for the manual key as it is
quite fragile.

I found the keying speed indication not to be accurate,
the indication seems to be faster than the real sending
speed.

Have fun
