Tom,
If I remember right, you also have a Signal Link USB. The 13 pin din
you use on the 590 for audio in/out, ptt, fsk, and the like, can also be
used on the 570. While I don't have a 570 here, I'm 99.9 percent sure
that the internal jumpers are also the same, so you can just switch the
cables over.
