[TRLog] Re: [psk31] TS 570 and PTT

[Gil Baron W0MN]

I realize the ACC2 works that way but if you have a TS870 and it still does
not work for you it may be as mine, it is not connected. It was a
manufacturing fault as nearly as I can tell. I just use the front panel with
a divider and stew at Kenwood!
