[Kenwood] TS-570 and HRD MCW

[Mike Rhodes]

Len,
  As I reread your note, I see that I may have misunderstood your 
question but my first questin still remains. WHY ??
  If you are having problems RECEIVING when trying to run CW (mcw but 
not really) it is because of the built in offset of the receiver when in 
USB mode vs CW mode. To eliminate any more pain, as the doctor says when 
told 'It only hurts when I do this", "Duh, don't do it then". You loose 
the benefit of any CW filtering you might have available plus the 
already discovered problems you are having.
