The ts-570 were made in the late 90's the ts-480 were released in 2003-2004 even the yaesu ft-840 which appeared in the late 80's to early 90's had a functional processor in am. ic-718 released in 2000 had one also. probably more models that am not familiar with also. excuse me not using...

That's why the Ts-570 & Ts-480 work well for AM,the processor works in AM mode & has adjustments for mic gain in and out.. The newer rigs disable the processor in AM

Non Hakko brand tips that fit the 936 series of irons will not last as long. The plating on the Hakko tips is more durable. You can use any solder you choose, they will work..

Crystal aging?

They are going to love when you go through the drive in teller at the bank & scare the s**t out of them with the racket it will make on the overhead:LOL:

The first 570's lacked some menu options for the DSP & TX & RCV audio adjustments. Kenwood later upgraded them for $25.00 . The 570 DG version had the upgraded firmware. The 570S version has 6 meters also and was about $250.00 more if bought new. The op you are referring to is probably using the...
