Thanks, 73, kelly, ve4xt From K4TXJ at ARRL.NET Sun Sep 23 15:07:40 2018 From: K4TXJ at ARRL.NET (Jim Vaughan, K4TXJ) Date: Sun, 23 Sep 2018 15:07:40 -0400 Subject: [Kenwood] TS-570SD Message-ID: I have a Kenwood TS-570D which was used by a friend. When I got it back his call was recorded in CH1 and other responses in CH2 and CH3. How do I erase what is in those channels? I never use them because I have a memory keyer. The manual tells how to record, but not how to erase what is recorded. Thanks in advance. Jim, K4TXJ Louisville, Ky.

I did a complete CPU reset and that took care of it. Now I have to enter all those frequencies again. OH well. I have a TS-570S and a TS-570D. The TS-570D is used with a Kenwood TL-922A and the TS-570S I use by itself. I love these rigs. I have a TS-850S also, but have no place to set it up. So I will put it in the box and put it in the closet until I can find someplace for it. Again thanks to all who helped. 73, Jim, K4TXJ Louisville, Ky.
