The tuner Harry is using is a manual MFJ 949E so all that needs to be 
connected between the Kenwood 570 is a coax jumper from Antenna 1 or Antenna 
2 to the transmitter coax connector on the tuner

And I believe that the 4 key on the number pad will select between the two 
antenna connectors on the 570.
